This sublime and well-designed book answers the frequently whispered question: What do well-dressed fairies wear when they leave their gossamer realm? Fairie haute couture specialists David Ellwand and Eugenie Bird present nearly 150 delicate outfits fit for any fairie queen. David Downton, one of Europe's leading fashion artists, illustrates these dresses, jackets, trousers, shoes, hats, and, dare we say, unmentionables, in full, sprightly color. Adding to the magic is the fact that all of these fairie fashions were magically crafted from feathers, flower petals, shells, seeds, and other materials from nature!
