Making a Fairy Part 2: The Dress

For the fairy dress, I had a fair bit of white satin leftover from a wedding gown I’d done last year, so I made the fairy dress out of that. I double-layered it on the body part of the dress so it wouldn’t be see through, and fortunately satin is still light enough to wear to a summer Ren Fest.

For the gold trim on the pointed sleeves and the collar I found a polyester fabric that worked great. The dress has a zippered back. The costume was finished off with a pair of pointed ears, like the elf’s. Glittery makeup, a flute, and a greenery wreath for the head also make excellent fairy embellishments.
