How to Create a Pink Fairy Costume For Your Toddler - Tips From an Expert Designer

There is nothing more adorable than seeing your little daughter in a cute and elegant dress. Wearing a pink mini dress, with some nice accessories, she will resemble the sweetest ballerina.

Let your designer side take over, and create a nice toddler fairy costume for your little daughter. For a start, you will need a pink top, which has shoulder straps. Nothing too complicated, just a simple top, which you will decorate and transform into a magical fairy top.

Start by adding glitter to this pink top. You will sew one layer of pink sequin beads along the shoulder straps, and draw a nice pattern at the chest. This shape can be a beautiful rose for example. When you are ready drawing it, you will start filling it in with the sparkling beads. This is how you transformed a plain little pink top into an elegant and stylish fairy ballerina top for your daughter.

Next, you will need to create the skirt. For this, you will need sheer nylon to create a few layers. Start by sewing the layers to the waistline trim of the top, and create a nice mini skirt. Do not worry if the skirt is see- through, because she will wear the toddler fairy costume with pink leggings or tights.

You have just created a sweet ballerina dress that is pink, glowing, and glittering. Your little darling will wear the toddler fairy costume very proudly, and then you will forget about all the effort you have taken to design it yourself.

From pink lace, you will design two sleevelets. This is very easy, all you need to do is to cut two sheets of lace and sew them together in a cylindrical shape. Add some elastic bands at both ends, and that is all. Make sure you choose a very fine lace, which is embroidered, so that you will achieve a unique visual effect with them.

Now, you need to take care about the final additions. The toddler fairy costume you have just created will perfectly match with a pair of nice pink leggings or even tights for children. In addition, you will need to purchase a pair of ballerina style shoes, which are either silvery or pink. Fairy pouch and fairy wings are needed too, but only if you would like her to wear them. Style her wonderful hair in a nice ballerina bun, which you will wrap with a nice satin band.

Do you want something special for this year's Halloween party? Do you want to impress and charm everybody with a surreal look? Well, then you must become a wonderful fairy who has just landed from the magical woodland. A fairy Halloween costume is quite simple to design, and the whole secret lies in the colors you use and in the matching accessories. Here is what you will need: a corset like stretch top made of velvet, and a sheer layered skirt made of organza. The color of the top and of the skirt should be different, but both only soft colors; for example, the top could be of a soft lavender while the skirt in a jade tone.

Do not be afraid to combine colors; especially if you combine the colors blue, jade, teal, lavender, and soft lilac, you will obtain a magical ensemble. Your fairy Halloween costume will be ready very quickly, and you will be charmed with the results. Firstly, you need to add a little bit of glitter and sparkle to your costume. Take a handful of silver sequin beads, and create some nice patterns. Start with the neckline; no matter whether it is v-shaped or other shape, you will decorate it with one layer of silver sequin beads. Now, do the same at the bottom of the top, or the waistline.

Your fairy Halloween costume starts to take shape. If your corset like top has any trims on the front, like the two usual parallel trims from the chest to the waistline, you should decorate those as well. This time, take white satiny beads, and decorate those trims. Your costume is ready now. You will need to work on the accessories, so that everyone will recognize the fairy princess in you. You will design now a nice fairy head wreath. Just take a simple plastic headband. You will decorate this with petit faux flowers.

Choose some tiny roses and lavender, and glue them onto the plastic headband. Then, make a nice hairstyle, like a loose bun. Place the wreath on your head, and you will look charming. If you want to, you can also add a few thin satin ribbons to your wreath; especially if you let your hair loose these will create a wonderful effect. Procure yourself a small fairy pouch decorated with flowers, and wear a pair of silvery sandals with your new fairy Halloween costume.
