Delicious Dark Fairy Costumes

These evil counterparts to the traditional flower fairies are the succubi, the evil queens of the fairy world, and the perfect dark fairy costume can make even the most bashful of ladies want to step out feel powerful and gorgeous.

Here are some simple tips and ideas for creating your own dark fairy Halloween costume.

It’s best to start with your main garment and then choose your accent pieces to go with it.

A dress of a dark color is a must.

Black is the standard when it comes to dark fairy costumes, but you could mix it up by wearing a dress that is a very deep, nearly black shade of blue, green, purple, or even red.

Torn or uneven edges to the skirt will give an aura of destruction and desolation to dark fairy costumes.

You can also slash the bodice or the sleeves, if your gown has them, with a razor blade to get an edgy look.

Most traditional fairy costumes are the picture of innocence and frilly, childlike girlhood.

The contrasting dark fairy costumes should be sultry and vampish, tightly fitted in the bust, waist, and hips.

Carrying a torn black lace fan or a black rose would also add to the sexy mystery of your costume, along with some other accessories you can buy or make yourself.

Wings are a must for any fairy outfit.

Dark fairy costumes should have black wings, but they can be purchased wings that look like a monarch butterfly, elaborate painted black netting over custom wire frames, or just a simple do-it-yourself version made with black panty hose and two twisted coat hangers.

There are several tutorial websites that give instructions for how to make wings, so roll up your slashed sleeves and get creative!

A dark brown, black, or deep auburn wig or dye job would be appropriate for those whose natural hair color is lighter.

To show off your new hair color, find some dark enameled or semiprecious jewelry. A string of black pearls or an onyx choker with ruby or deep sapphire accents would be perfect.

Stiletto heels with pointed toes are the perfect shoes, and you can choose whether you want to wear pumps, booties, or even knee- or thigh-high boots.

All dark fairy costumes would look complete with any of those selections.

One of the most important things to remember when putting together your costume is that you do not need to spend excessive amounts of money to look fantastic.

A dark colored prom or dance dress can be cheaply obtained from most thrift stores, inexpensive black and blood red jewelry is common in most accessory shops, and you may already own a pair of shoes that will work perfectly.

The only requirement for good dark fairy costumes is that they make you feel sexy, mysterious, and ready to party!
