Artists and Our idea of what fairies look like comes mainly from modern interpretations of the fairy. The realm of the fairy has grown and expanded over the years to encompass all kinds of fairies, from the traditional woodland fairy to dark fairies and fairies for every season.

From the Celtic fairies dedicated to drawing people into their deadly fairy rings, to the effervescent Tinkerbell, fairies have long held a place in our imagination. Older imaginings were not always as beautiful and ethereal as the fairies we know today. Fairies are creatures of myth and legend that have taken on many incarnations over the thousands of years that mankind has imagined them. There is perhaps no more magical creature a woman can choose to impersonate come Halloween.

Over time, the lure of the fairy has created an entire culture and strong following for all things fairy from statues to wall art to of course, costumes. When you choose a fairy costume, you can.

Today's fairy costumes generally include light, airy fabrics such as tulle, bright colors and of course the wings with which fairies take flight, soaring through the air and our imaginations.
