How to make a fairy costume
The fairy is soft and sparkly: a light dress or skirt, a pair of wings and glitter. It is the costume for someone who wants the prettiest photo of the night.
What you need
- Sheer fairy wings
- A light dress or tulle skirt
- A flower crown
- Ballet flats or sandals
- A wand (or a stick with ribbon)
- Face glitter and highlighter
How to put it together
- Highlighter on the cheekbones and glitter along the top of each.
- Dress or skirt on, flower crown in your hair.
- Wings on, wand in hand.
From things you already own
Any light dress, flowers pinned in your hair, and a stick wrapped in ribbon.
No makeup?
The wings and the flower crown say fairy; skip the glitter.
For a group or a couple
A fairy garden: each friend in a different colour, from pale pink to forest green.

Short of time, or wearing it to work?
This one takes about 30 minutes. If Halloween is tomorrow, the last-minute list is ordered by how long each costume takes. If you are wearing it to the office, the work list is the eight that survive a full day at a desk. Not sure yet? Answer three questions and get one costume with its checklist.
