The fairy princess Halloween costume is one of the most popular outfits for young girls and women all over the world. After all, what girl can resist the appeal of a pretty, sparkly dress and delicate wings?

Fairy princess Halloween costumes are a particular bestseller because little girls in particular love becoming a fairy princess for Halloween night or for themed party. Even big girls can get in on the fun. They can choose to be naughty or good fairies for the night.
A typical fairy outfit starts off with a beautiful dress. Flimsy, dainty or delicate dresses play a huge role. Sheer layered skirts, cut jaggedly so that they fall around the knees are a particular favorite. Full skirts can bring out any girl’s inner princess.
Fairy princess costumes do not have to be just about being prim and proper. Baby doll dresses, miniskirts and tight dresses are a staple of Halloween bashes simply because they are so sexy. Most women like to look beautiful on Halloween night, and not just to get candy, but to be part of the eye-candy. But it only starts with the dress.
The choice of wings for the fairy look can make or break the costume. Luckily these days the options are endless: butterfly wings, flower wings, angel wings, bird wings and even leaf wings lend originality to the pixie look. The larger the wing, the bigger the impact the costume will have. A great idea is to layer multiple styles of wings instead of just using one pair for a spectacular effect.
Once the dress and the wings have been decided, accessorize with tiaras. What princess would be caught dead without her crown? A pretty headband can double as a crown and a hair accessory. Flower wreaths or daisy chains look great for the flower fairy look.
Complete the look with the perfect fairy wand for the outfit.
For little girls who will be going trick or treating, give them a pair of nice comfy shoes to help them get around with minimal fuss. If they are the girly type, a pair of sparkling ballerina flats will complete the look. For the ladies, the sexy fairy costume would not be complete without a pair of rocking high heels.

Fairy Princess Background Information

Fairy princess costumes are popular because fairies have been fueling our imagination for centuries. Most cultures around the world have similar stories regarding fairy-like beings. Fairies were originally portrayed as mischievous spirits that curdled milk or stole children form cradles. They were thought to control our destiny. Other stories about them described them as tall, noble beings that had underground courts, living away from the humans. The Irish called them the fey, the Welsh the fair folk or the Old People. Traditionally, there were ‘good’ fairies and ‘evil’ fairies that helped or hindered human kind.
Featured in children’s stories in the 1800s, fairies eventually became what we think of them today: tiny, insect or butterfly winged creatures that live in acorns and flowers. Illustrations in children’s books portray them as delicate, ethereal beings, as ready to do mischief as they are to help the lost traveller in the woods. This depiction of fairies serves as the primary inspiration for fairy costumes, easily recognized by people around the world.
