Woodland Glade Fairy

The Woodland Glade Fairy is one of the fairies in Sleeping Beauty. For this costume we simply embellished a white platter tutu and bodice we had purchased the previous year for the Cygnets variation.

Afer removing the white feathers we had added for Cygnets, we began making a plate for the tutu top. This wasn’t as easy as it sounds as this tutu had a stretchy basque. The plate must lie flat when on the dancer. We found a white organza with gold swirls for the plate. $15, eBay.

I purchased a “fine fabric” tag gun to secure the outer edges of the plat to the tutu. This was only $12, but did not include it in my final cost.

So as not to weigh down the tutu, a very light weight white leaf trim was added to the outer edge of the plate. $5, joggles.com

Then, white venice lace leaf sections were added to the plate where it meets the basque at the hips. These appliques had pearls and sequins on them. $20, ebay.

The plate was done.

To the bodice we added mirror image gold leaf appliques. These really picked up the gold swirls on the tutu. $20, eBay

Using the same venice lace leaf sections that we added to the tutu plate, we made armbands.

Lastly, was the search for a tiara. This went on for quite a while and we even entertained the idea of making our own. Finally we found the perfect tiara on eBay, only $20!

This was last year’s project so it is tougher to remember costs, but this is pretty close:
Total cost: $80
