Cinderella's fairy godmother turned a pumpkin into a coach.
A fairy godmother costume is the perfect accompaniment to a little girl's Cinderella costume. The fairy godmother is a grandmotherly figure who dressed in a long blue robe with a hood. It's an easy costume to make and will perfectly complement the little girl in your life who will be dressed as Cinderella. In this classic fairytale that was brought to life by Walt Disney, Cinderella wished for a way to the ball and the fairy godmother made it happen.
Hair and Makeup for Fairy Godmother
Options for a fairy godmother hairstyle include wearing a silver, white or gray wig or covering your hair with white or silver temporary hairspray. If you do not want to go gray for the costume, pull your hair into a bun, or wear a white nightcap or pointed princess hat.
Keep makeup for your fairy godmother fairly simple. Add glitter eye liner or shadow and pink blush.
Fairy Godmother Dress Ideas
Start with a blue formal dress, such as an old bridesmaid gown, over-sized nightgown, a thrift store wedding dress dyed blue or a blue graduation gown. Cinderella's fairy godmother had a hood. Cut a piece of shiny blue material into a long rectangle shape that will go over the head and hang down to the elbows and down to the middle of your back.
Accessories
Tie a pink scarf or long piece of pink silky material around your neck to hold the hood in place; this also creates a cape-like effect over the shoulders. Tie the scarf in a regular bow like you would tie a shoelace bow.
Wear white or pink ballerina slippers, white gloves and a pearl necklace and earrings.
Fairy Godmother Wand
A fairy godmother costume is not complete without a magic wand. Either purchase a child's toy wand or make your own by attaching a wood or cardboard star shape to a dowel. Paint and embellish with glitter and ribbons.
