Fairytale CostumesIf you’ve ever dreamt of being a princess, then indulge your fantasy now and dress up in a fairytale costume! You can be Sleeping Beauty; Snow White; Cinderella; Belle; Jasmine; Ariel; or Princess Fiona. You can also dress up as other fairytale characters. Choose from Dorothy’s blue checkered gingham dress with a white blouse and classic red shoes; Alice in Wonderland’s satin dress in blue with a pinafore attached and black lace trimmings; the Evil Queen’s royal purple dress with a black fancy collar and black cape; the Mad Hatter or even the Big Bad Wolf in Grandma’s white floral nightgown and a nightcap that matches, to name just a few.
All fairytale costumes require the right costume accessories, adding that extra touch, so consider trying on a wig to copy the hairstyle, gloves, jewelry, a matching purse, or whatever accessory suits. And of course, don’t forget the make-up; it adds that extra dimension to your costume.
Nursery Rhyme CostumesNursery rhyme characters are well-loved classics. You can be Humpty Dumpty; Little Miss Muffet sitting on her tuffet; or Little Bo Peep who lost her sheep. You can even make your own version of certain nursery rhyme characters, such as the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe or the 3 Blind Mice. As with most fairytale costumes, it is important to accessorize, so why not wear matching hair ties, bring a gold staff or attach fake spiders to your clothes, whatever gives your nursery rhyme costume that extra bit of dazzle and shine.
Sexy Classic Nursery Rhyme or Fairytale CostumesFor the more adventurous, you might want to go for Tinkerbelle’s short green dress with an uneven hemline and pixie wings; Little Red Riding Hood’s hot red mini dress, white apron and red cape; Goldilocks’ bright yellow bra top and matching mini skirt; the Queen of Heart’s red-and-black petticoat dress with heart designs; or Mary Had a Little Lamb’s black-and-white mini dress with lace-up corset and black choker. Dress up these sexy costumes with high-heeled boots and thigh-high stockings and add some extra sex appeal to your outfit. Accessories and wigs can also make your sexy fairytale costume more identifiable, so give that some thought. You should also try the sultry make-up look, to complement your fairytale or nursery rhyme costume.
