3Midnight Garden Fairy

Certainly, and that’s just what this costume does. The three piece uniform comes with one dress with attached wings, one belt and one headpiece. Entirely made of polyester, the costume is soft and comfortable so kids can really move around and, well, shake their wings.
4Green Garden Fairy
One garden fairy certainly needs a friend to go prancing through the yard. If you have multiple wanna-be fairies on your hands, by all means dress your other child in this Green Garden Fairy costume. One of the nice things about this costume is it features a full skirt that comes all the way down the leg. In addition, the bodice is a green crochet top with a satin ribbon halter tie. Only hiccup, the wings are sold separately but you can add them to your ordering using the vendor’s easy dropdown option.
5Butterfly Fairy
If you’re unaware of the butterfly/fairy hybrid, you clearly haven’t spent enough time with young children lately. Basically if being a fairy is good, being a butterfly/fairy is great. C’mon, it’s science. Give your child this uber fairy look with this gorgeous yellow costume that’s covered in sequins on the bodice and is covered in flower appliques and 3D butterflies all over it. The skirt is a flowy layered tulle. You’ll have to add on the wings, wand, and matching sparkly shoes, or you can make your own.

Not only will they be in a perfectly perfect fairy ensemble, they’ll be easily visible while they run around the neighborhood trick-or-treating! No one will miss your pixie on October 31. You’ll have to come up with a leotard or outfit to go underneath, but that’s actually a benefit considering you can dress your kid in warm layers without taking away from the overall look.
7Blooming Fairy
Really the only thing that makes a fairy costume better is copious accents; in this case, pretty bright fake flowers.

The bright colors make this fairy costume super pop which makes it easier to keep track of your kid on the big day.

Which is to say, this is a one-of-a-kind fairy costume you won’t likely see on too many other trick-or-treaters come Halloween night. Even better, this costume not only comes with matching wings, it also comes with a ribbon-adorned wand your pixie can wave around all night long.

If that’s not magic, what is?
10Tinker Bell Costume
Can’t forget Tinker Bell. Arguably the most famous of all the fairies, she’s a popular character to become on Halloween. And there are loads of costumes to choose from. But this one is especially appealing thanks to its petal peplum skirt layered over tulle. A large pink flower, Tink cameo, and pink vine applique make it extra special. Finish this magical costume with the included green and gold glitter wings, the ultimate Tinker Bell look for your little one to fly off to Neverland.
11Tooth Fairy Costume
The hardest working fairy in all the land, the Tooth Fairy has a big job. And if you think she gets to rest on Halloween, you are sadly mistaken. Just think of all those teeth falling out thanks to buckets of sticky candy. Put your kid to work collecting those rogue incisors dressed as a mini tooth fairy. This costume is, naturally, all white with a glittery silver tooth on the front. Glitter elastic straps hold the crochet bodice in place. And the white wings are included as well although you’ll have to track down your own wand and possibly a pouch to collect the pearly whites.
12Peacock Fairy Costume
Peacock features are some of the most beautiful in all the world. So it makes sense that those gorgeous feathers would be a good decoration for a fairy costume. The brilliant greens and blues make this a wildly unique look complete with a green sequin bodice adorned with a peacock feather and flower detailing and a satin halter-style straps. Multilayered green, blue, and purple tulle make up the skirt. And if you want to go really wild, you can also purchase peacock feather wristlets to match.
13Rainbow Fairy Costume
Lisa Frank had it right when she put rainbows on every Trapper Keeper and notebook throughout the 90s. There’s something about a rainbow that’s just so cheerful and uplifting. Now take that idea and apply it to a fairy costume and you have this: a rainbow, swirly, unicorn fairy costume! It’s like a Lisa Frank dream come true. Rather than see-through wings, this includes gold puffy wings along with a headband with a unicorn horn on them. Plus, the bodice of the dress has a unicorn face on it. Done and done.
