Summer Faerie

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hat all to short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometimes declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall no fade...

--William Shakespeare

This lovely fairy's outfit comes in four separate and removable parts: bodice, skirt, petticoat and overskirt. The bodice and skirt are both in a beautiful, summery, cotton material with blue flowers and green foliage scattered on a white background. The bodice is lined with white satin; it is trimmed with white rose-bud lace and blue satin ribbon; has twinned straps of pearls and ties in back with blue ribbon, cross-gartered between pearl buttons.

The skirt is extremely full and comes to below the knees; it is also trimmed in the rose lace as well as a strand of pearls. The waistline is trimmed with blue ribbon and closes in back with a hidden snap. Under the skirt is a petticoat of six layers of tulle; the top and bottom layer and the waist are trimmed in lace. Completing her airy look is an overskirt of swiss-dotted, white tulle, gathered and flounced to give the impression of a floating cloud. The overskirt is trimmed with blue satin roses and ties at the waist with a blue satin ribbon bow.

Accessories include faceted "diamond" earrings, a hand-made necklace of blue and pearlescent beads, and blue ribbons at her ankles above the painted-on, pearly-white, ballet-style slippers.
