Fairy Costumes For Halloween

If I could be anything other than the Witch that I am, it would be a Fairy. I would then be called the Halloween Kitchen Fairy because I am sure I would still love to cook and bake Halloween recipes. And there would probably be lots of Fairy recipes and cupcake ideas I would share with you. But right now, I want to take a look at some Fairy costumes for Halloween. So...get out the Fairy Dust and let's get looking!

You can find one of these lovely costumes in womens, womens plus, teens, girls and baby sizes...so no matter how big or small or old or young you are...there are even a couple of fairy costumes for guys...you can get the costume you want this year for Halloween.

What Kind Of Fairy Costumes Are There?

Fairies are magical creatures who have special powers. You can find many stories and explainations and even names for these small beings. The are called Sprites, Fay, Faerie, among others. They are depicted as good and evil depending on which version you are reading. I like to believe they are good...all the Faries I ever met were amazingly kind and sweet creatures. And they were all beautiful, even the dark ones. Yes there are dark fairies, but they aren't dark as in evil...they are the fairies who protect us in the night. At least, that's what I believe!

What kind of Fairy Costumes are there? Looking at this lens you will find woodland, blossom, gothic and dark fairies. You will also see some of the fay you are familiar with like the Tooth Fairy, the Fairy Godmother and Tinkerbel...and her friends, Silvermist and Vidia. As you can see there are many different kinds of fairies...so if you see one you don't recognize don't be alarmed!

What could be sweeter than a Baby Fairy?

EDIT to create a Halloween poll relevant to your topic.

Fairies have wings. Some are dark, some are light, some look beautiful and brand new, others might look tattered and torn, some are large and some are small, but all fairy costumes start out with wings. I happen to think that all these wings look beautiful, each in their own way. You can see what I mean in these Fairy Wing Pictures.

Save money and pick a costume that has everything included. It's more expensive to buy costumes ala carte...get one where all the accessories you need are included. An expensive addition to a fairy costume is the cost of the wings, but with these outfits the wings are included! There's a picture of everyone's favorite fairy, Tinkerbell, included in the gallery below.

There are many popular Teen Halloween outfits with a fairy theme. The Dark and Gothic Look have been very popular the last couple of years and that trend will continue. You can see why with the costume pictures below. I think they are amazing.

Some girls enjoy the magic they feel when the dress up as a fairy. I just happen to be one of those girls! I am a grown up girl with children of her own, yet I can still feel those magical vibes when I am near anything that is sprite like. Everyone knows who Tinkerbell is, she is a Disney character from Peter Pan.

The Woodland Fairies are usually dressed in fall colors. They live in the woods and forests and the colors they wear help to keep them hidden from strangers. Many wonderful and famous stories include these Woodland Sprites, one of the most famous is William Shakespeare's A Midsummer's Night Dream.

You can see how spring blossoms had to have inspired this costume look. The light, beautiful colors are all found in the flowers of spring. There are outfits for every size girl!

If you have a little girl who fits into baby or toddler size costumes, you have got to see these outfits. The Baby Fairy Costumes are simply beautitful. Pick from colors like pink, blue, lavender and green and dress your little girl up like the sprite she is.

Everyone knows who The Fairy Godmother is...right? It's a famous character from many old stories, including Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. The Godmother is the one who helps and watches over these princess characters. And it's a fun Halloween costume too.

Here it is, that famous character who is know for coming and collecting all the teeth that fall out...and if you've been good, he usually leaves a gift of somekind...sometimes it's even money! You can see pictures of the Tooth Fairy costume for men or for women and you can also find the Movie. It's a fun film for a family movie night.

The Tooth Fairy is a movie starring Dwayne Johnson, Julie Andrews and Ashley Judd. Johnson stars as a hockey player who must serve as a Tooth Fairy as punishment for his rough on the ice behavior. He is knicknamed the Tooth Fairy because of all the teeth he has knocked out of other players mouths. It's a fun film with a great cast...and it's a funny costume idea too.

I have listed every kind of Fairy Costume there is and now it's time for the adults to find some for themselves. Are you like me? Do you always get your kids costumes first and wait until the last minute for one of your own? Well, here's a fun selection, in fact, they are my favorite grown-up costumes with a fay theme. So go ahead, get one and be a Sprite!

Here's a makeup video to show you how to create a fairy look with makeup for Halloween. This particular look is for the Barbie Fairy Look...you can use this or use any part of it to create a beautiful look for your Halloween costume.
