Construction Details:

The corset and underskirt are two-tone crinkle taffeta, and the overskirt, petals and wings are organza, with the dress petals airbrushed to look like lily petals. The petals are wired along the edges and down the centre of each, and beaded with black bugle beads to create the distinctive lily 'spots'. The wings attach to straps that lace onto the corset in the front; they're surprisingly light despite their size...but they have a fairly large wingspan so it's a bit tricky going through doors (or a crowded backstage area, as I learned). The headdress and necklace are made of brass wire and beads, with organza ribbon dangling on the sides.

Personal Thoughts:

We decided to do flower faeries...I had 5 yards of gorgeous rainbow organza in my closet that I'd seen at Fabricland last year and just HAD to buy (I actually had planned to make some kind of fairy with it but had no definite plans), so I did some research and found a flower that had the right colours to match the fabric (Stargazer Lily).
