My class is doing a play for a midsummer night's dream. && i need costume ideas?

Question

I'm in eighth grade but pretty short for my age. I am going to become a Fairy [act 2 scene 2] the one that talks with Robin Goodfellow. I don't know what kind of dress/skirt/top i should wear. I'm not going to buy anything too expensive because this is the only time im going need this costume. thanks for all your ideas :]

Answer 1

something in a pastel colour, flowers would work but very plain is ideal. get something floaty and short.

Answer 2

Something pastel, a little bit dressy, and maybe sew some flowers onto it.

Sometimes, i know from experiance, you can find REALLY REALLY nice dresses/skirts at Goodwill or local thrift stores around your area.  

Good luck, and congrats on your part! its a really important one!

Answer 4

Ritz dye (forest green) shred some old sheets...wings you may be able to make with wire (like hangers) and some stockings....glue and LOTS of glitter.....How much fun!!!

Answer 5

my sister was a fairy in a midsummers night dream and she had a sort of flowy skirt, bare feet, and some sparkly eye makeup. For her top it was sort of a tank top with a flowy thing the same color has the skirt. Heres some pictures that may help you out.

Answer 6

I'd go with something floaty and a bit hippie~ish in natural colours and natural fabrics. Bare feet. Maybe flowers in your hair?

Break a leg and enjoy! :)

Answer 7

A flowing tunic over tights (and a leotard, if you wish).  You can even just cut a hole in the center of a 7-foot or so piece of cool cloth, pop your head through and tie a piece of rope or ribbon around your waist to belt it off.

Depending on which one you are, you can coordinate the costume and/or make-up colour to it (Mustardseed would be ochre-ish, for example).

And flowers or some other greenery in your hair or wasitband might also be appropriate.
