Tinkerbell costumes for girls
Posted by: | CommentsThe Tinkerbell fancy dress outfit is slightly different to most fancy dress outfits, as it is hugely iconic, being a Walt Disney interpretation of the character, and is a lot more respectable than a lot of fancy dress costumes, where the ’sexy’ element takes over, leaving the outfit looking trashy and slutty. Outfits like ‘Playboy Bunny’ costumes bring the sexiness, but are so revealing and over-the-top that they simply look unseemly and rather unpleasant. While a too-short version of the Tinkerbell outfit can look equally slutty, it is generally cutesy and respectable enough to get away with it. The Walt Disney element also reminds people of the films and their childhood, unlike the ‘Bunny’ costumes, so there is a certain warmth in wearing something that people are so familiar and fond of.
After humble beginnings as the mischievous pixie in J.M. Barrie’s classic novel, Tinkerbell gained iconic status when Walt Disney decided to make a cartoon version of the book. This has given that mischievous little pixie a whole new lease of life as a child’s fantasy companion, and an inspiration for older women looking to dress up and look sexy.
Sprinkle some magic on your party
Posted by: | CommentsSince 1954, the Walt Disney version of Tinkerbell has been the hostess of the majority of the corporation’s live-action programming, cementing her place as a pop culture icon. In turn, the fairy’s now-classic outfit of green dress and fairy wings has become a staple of all sorts of fancy dress events, popular with both young girls living out their dreams of being fairies and older women wanting to look both demure and sexy.
For little girls, Tinkerbell costumes are so much more than a fancy dress fair outfit. Just as Peter Pan - the boy that never grew up - is the hero of millions of young boys, Tinkerbell is the female counterpart. Mischievous, caring and magical, dressing up in a Tinkerbell costume encourages girls to let their imaginations run riot. She combines the naughtiness of children with the sense of loyalty and responsibility that all parents want to teach their youngsters, much more than Wendy, who is old before her time, and not the sort of fun character that girls want to aspire to be like.
So the Tinkerbell fancy dress costume is the perfect outfit for any children’s party or fancy dress event. If your little ones are going to a friend’s party, a well-designed fairy costume will make them the toast of the party. Fancy dress is the ideal way to encourage your children to have fun and use their imaginations. Nowadays children are more inclined to ask for a new games console or DVD than a toy or fancy dress costume. Even the Walt Disney corporation seems to be putting greater emphasis on computer games and electronic equipment for children rather than toys.
