Fantasy
Costumes
Basically the reason I have for THIS Category is because there ARE
other occasions when one might desire a costume besides for Halloween
and other Holidays, or Historical Re-Enactments and Parties. There are
things like “Mardi Gras” in New Orleans (I DO hope Mardi Gras will
survive New Orleans latest weather tragedy). People throw “Masquerade
Parties” for Birthdays, but often enough, for no reason at all. There
might be a School Play or some sort of Town Celebration or Parade that
requires, requests, or allows the donning
of Costumes for reasons of keeping up a Town's
Tradition. By the way, please be aware that many costumes that
you may seek can be found through one or more of the other
Categories….so don’t be shy …Look around!
 The word “Fantasy”,
to
ME, covers a VERY large range of Costumes. A FANTASY is anything that
is NOT “factual”. An Elf, for Example, is definitely a
creature of somebodys imagination, pure and simple (unless you've SEEN
one of course .-). Or say I dressed up in a Queens Costume, I
am no queen… so… that is “Fantasy”. If
I dressed in a Dog Costume and you dressed as the Dog Catcher
we'd STILL be dealing with "Fantasy" of course...because I am not a Dog
and you are not a Dog Catcher (or do I speak too soon here?) (HA!). My
point again being..anything that is NOT "who
we are".. can be considered
"Fantasy".
Below are some of MY
personal favorite Fantasy Characters...that I believe still dwell
deep in some unexplored forest on the edges of the
world. "The world of my imagination." you say? Very
possibly SO!
Just
click on
the picture below and you will be transported to that Costume...with a
wave of my Magic Wand........... :-)
Checkout the little group of Fantasy Costumes below..from the costumeman.com at FrankBees.
Ribbon Fairy Pink Fairy Butterfly Mask There are DRAGONS!
The world of "Fairies"
happens to be a
big favorite of mine. Although you can pick up a fairy costume at most
any of the Costume Stores on line (Check out my Children and/or Adult
Costume sections)...One might like to put together your OWN Fairy
costume by, first, purchasing or making her (OR
"his" even)
"wings". The wings below are from
BuyCostumes.com  Adult Fairy Wings  Childs Feather Wings
 Delux Evil Fairy Wings  Butterfly Wings  Fiery Dawn Fairy Wings
 The above is "Crimson Lily" a little nic-nac collectable from the Pyramid Collection you can click on it for more info but I actually put her here as an idea how a fairy may be dressed. The clothing below might match close enough. All clothing available in Goddess sizes at no extra cost  Scarlet Lace-Up Dress  Wicked Fairy Dress w/ Arm Warmers & Petticoat  Faerie Fire Cotton Dress  Chameleon Dress/Skirt  Midnight Garden Dress  Firefly Jersey Dress  White Crystal Dress (teis beneath for different look)  Wood Sprite Dress  Amethyst Fairy Costume w/Petticoat  Gossamer Dusk Top  Gossamer Dawn Top  Vivaine Velvet Dress  Aurora-Borealis Skirt  Lavender Fantast Top  Blue Pixie Skirt  Darjeeling Dress  Crystal Butterfly Hooded Top  Forest Finery Top  Forest Fire Skirt  Lame Leggings (Perfect to wear with a Fairy Top)  Dragonfly Coat  Metallic Clogs (above)  Witchy Shoes (above) ~~~~~~~ BuyCostumes.com has nice fairy slippers,,,  Adult in Gold, Silver, and Black  Bella Adult Shoes  Sparkle Pink for Children ~~~~ PyramidCollection.com has many beautiful "Accessories" that can TOTALLY add to your Fantasy/Fairy look. In days of old Jewelry was often worn as "Protection". Talismans were magical ... to ward off evil... or even to bring a person Luck-in-Love. Certain stones were said to aid in certain conditions..and combinations of stones might just keep a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. Still today certain minerals found in some stones are proven to aid in certain conditions and thus..I say..what can it hurt?..the stones are beautiful anyway..why NOT adorn ourselves?. FAIRIES being magical and fun loving ..as well as carriers of good-will and anything helpful...Happen to LOVE anything that sparkles. Simply put..Gem stones, as well as silver, gold, copper, pewter, etc. ARE worn..as well as used.... by Fairies. (at least tis so with all of the Fairies that I am aquainted with. So Fairies..Get your wings, slippers, and clothes on..then don't forget the Sparklies! ( All jewelry comes gift wrapped.)  Diamond-Rhinestone Anklet  Butterfly Sunglasses  Sylvanus Earwrap  Sterling Silver Wind Earwrap  Sterling silver Claddagh Bangle Bracelet  Antique Sterling Dragon Cuff Bracelet  "Keep Me Safe" Amulet  Scented "Tree of Life" Amulet Necklace  Ask/ Believe/ Receive Amulets  Silver DragonFly Pendant  Celestial Amber Ring  Celestial Charms Bracelet  Quartz Wand Pendant  Cosmic Cat Pendant  Tolkien Quote Bracelet  Magic Faerie Lock Box (above) (Secret Key) To put your beautiful Faerie Jewelry in. ~~~~~~~~~ There is so much beautiful Fairy-Style Jewelry, AND ETC., at the Pyramid Collection that the only way you'll see it all is to browse the store once you get there by way of one of the above product links. Whew! Please forgive me for getting a bit carried away with the Pyramid Collection though. I WILL try to stay more ON-Point :-) That said..Here is a Fairy Costume or 3 from BuyCostumes.com  Butterfly Masquerade Costume  Amber, the Woodland Fairy Costume  Metallic Copper Fairy Costume ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Where there are Fairies there are certainly Wizards.. The Costumes below are from FrankBee at costumeman.com  Delux Wizard  and of course Merlin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The world of Fantasy Costumes
is
a BIG one when you consider all of the possibilities. It just
depends upon what your particular "fantasy" happens to BE. The range
could run anywhere from an Elf..to an Alligator...From a
Dragon Fly to a Super Hero. They are ALL Fantasy if they are
not YOU....and I'd just BET they aren't! (not right this MINUTE
anyway!). So Check out our Fantasy Costumes in the online stores
shown here and in the other "fantasy-like"
sections that aim you more toward "Fictional Characters" and "Movie
Characters". ~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a "fantasy-type?" of
Costume that I'm not quite sure how to categorize so maybe this would
be a good place. I think that being a "Tomato or" a
"Can-Opener" would be quite the FANTASY don't you?
"Object Costumes"..now here's a fun one. It's hard
to imagine really, but I've seen some VERY creative things
come from this thought.
I saw a Couple in
Costume, one a Can of Soup, and one a Spoon that was quite
clever. I recall seeing a man dressed as a "Pez Despenser"
too. Vegi Costumes are very popular in some
circles I think. It just goes to show more
that....the possibilities are LIMITLESS!!!! Below are a few
"Things" or "Objects" ..I guess we could call them "Fantasy" Costumes.
Ü These below are brought to you by BuyCostumes.com
where
you will find MANY MANY more.
 Toilet Costume  Purple Grapes Costume  Flamingo Costume What fun!..You see..You are a HUMAN and when you are not BEING a HUMAN then I would say you are living in a "Fantasy World". So there you have it folks~~>Coletta's reasoning on "Fantasy". Ü Again, If you have any Costumes, Beautiful and/or Original, Please send me a photo(jpg attachment) and I will post it. Coletta@Costume-Works.com (don't forget to put the dash (-) after "Costume") Please include your name or whatever you prefer to be called online. ("screenname" perhaps?) |
