A fairy costume is a great choice of outfit for a fancy dress party. Not only are they readily available either from online stores or from your local costume shop, but they are easy to make yourself, too.

The basic fairy costume consists of a simple, natural-looking dress (usually in green or a color that represents a certain type of flower), simple shoes (often in the same color as the dress), and a pair of wings. Common accessories include: a fairy wand, natural, floral jewelry and flowery hairclips.

Fairies are well known characters from literature, traditional oral tales and movies. If you attend a costume party dressed as a fairy, people will certainly be able to identify who you’ve come as. Furthermore, because fairies are traditionally associated with mirth and fun, other guests should respond positively to your fairy costume.
