Ok! Links for you!
I have a pair of these wings and love them (but burned a hole in one when I was ironing a few years back. 🙄 ); I wore them with a white gown as well to a ren faire and was a huge hit. The harness is very lightweight and comfortable: http://cgi.ebay.com/FAIRY-Wedding-Wings-LIFESIZE-adult-costume-dress-up-XL_W0QQitemZ260478542975QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3ca5bb247f&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
I’ve wanted a pair from this place for years now; I love how ‘real’ they look: http://www.fancyfairy.com
Good Etsy seller with lots of choices: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5661284
Let me know if any of those work & I’ll keep looking too!
Oh! I love that white pair! I am sorry you burnt a hole in them 🙁 I might just get that one! I would imagine it would be very likely for them to get damaged because they are so big-is that true? I do love that fancyfairy website! Unfortunately, most of them are a little too pricy for me right now, but I believe I will bookmark it! Thank you! If you found more, then I wouldn’t mind that you post those links too! Also-with all of your costumes in your signature–could you post some pics of you in your costumes (including wings)? I would like to see them! 🙂

The white wings are actually *very* well made and *very* sturdy. Since they don’t have a wire along the lower edge they billow around and don’t ‘break’. The only reason I messed them up is because I had the iron on too high when I tried to get the wrinkles out after them being in storage for so long. 😳
Here is a pic of me with them on:
Here is me in another set of wings; a white feathered pari a friend made to go with my Ever After replica:
I think that’s all of the wing pics I have. 🙂
VERY nice!! I have always wanted to dress in an Ever After replicated dress! Do you also know how to do your hair in different ways that would fit a renaissance theme? I have reaally long hair, and I have been wondering how to put it up. 🙂

Gah! You look like an angel!
Hey EF, they don’t have adult size wings per se, but they do have slightly larger ones that you could use for an adult for a “cute” look. It’s been a while since I went in but I bet I could find an excuse to go check them out.

Well hairstyles vary with the time period but the easiest way to wear your hair up and back is in a ‘snood’. I have a few lovely handmade ones with pearls woven into them; I wore one this weekend:
They are really easy to wear, some people find them easier if they are attached to a headband or comb to keep them in place. They are really handy or keeping your hair looking neat in this Texas heat!
Edit to change my mind. 😈 😈
Okay, here is the dress:
And I was thinking about these wings instead of the big whit ones:
What do you think? 🙂The wings totally lay flat and then you can bend the wire back out a bit when you put them on. The actual fabric parts slide on and off the wires so you can fold up and put them away. Just be careful if you decide to iron them back out.
The pic you see of me wearing them was taken in Atlanta when I lived in Boston; I packed them in my suitcase so I know they will fit in your car. 😉

On the cellophane wings you will need to leave more space for them when travelling as they are much more delicate than the big ones. Both would look great though but if I had to choose I’d get the big ones. 🙂
Hmmm…in that case, maybe the big white ones would be the best. 🙂 Someone bid on them, and I am hoping that they won’t go very high, because they are how much I was wanting to pay for them. 🙁 I found a really nice snood on ebay, and it looks small enough for my thin hair. lol
Crimson-I just noticed the website link in your siggy, so I have browsed through it. Everything that you wear looks fantastic on you! 🙂eaglefeather831 wrote:Hmmm…in that case, maybe the big white ones would be the best. 🙂 Someone bid on them, and I am hoping that they won’t go very high, because they are how much I was wanting to pay for them. 🙁 I found a really nice snood on ebay, and it looks small enough for my thin hair. lol
Crimson-I just noticed the website link in your siggy, so I have browsed through it. Everything that you wear looks fantastic on you! 🙂If I were you I would message her privately and ask if she has any for direct sale since you are going to the faire so soon. Tell her your budget and see if she can work with you. I’d offer to sen my pair out for you to borrow but as I said they have a small hole in them. 😳
Glad you like my costumes! I pretty much work out and diet all year just for the big costume event DragonCon every labor day. :p

I did just that, and her BIN price is 65 dollars. I bid on the one on Ebay, and it went for a couple bucks cheaper. Its about 20 bucks higher than my budget, but I think it’s worth it!
She hasn’t responded to my email about shipping time, and since the Ebay checkout said “Oct. 12,” then it has me a little worried. I hope she will respond soon to ease my mind!yay for winning wings cheaper! 🙂 They will be worth it. I hope she does email you back soon abotu the shipping!

Yeppers! I just checked my email, and she expects them to get here in about two or three days! 10 times better than Oct. 12th!! I wasn’t even expecting to have any wings, but then I got to browsing…and all of them were so pretty…..yep. 8)
I was wondering what it was like to do your hair up like Danielle in Ever After? Was it hard? I keep on leaning back towards that picture of you on your website.chrisherself wrote:Crimson Vision wrote:Here is me in another set of wings; a white feathered pari a friend made to go with my Ever After replica:

I’m sorry I missed this Cherisherself. Thank you so much for the offer, but I believe I have things figured out now. 😀 I will keep you in mind though, because as Chloe gets older, I will need new wings for her! Thank you! 🙂
