Tinkerbell fancy dress costumes are without doubt the most popular type of fairy costume out there. The mischievous little nymph, who has become a symbol of 'the magic of Disney', makes for a wonderful outfit. However, the Tinkerbell outfit that we all know and love, based on the Walt Disney animation, is quite different to how her creator, J. M. Barrie, first envisioned her in his 1904 play.
Tinkerbell was first described by Barrie as a fairy who mended kettles and pots, like a tinker. Meanwhile, her dialogue consisted of the sound a tinkling bell makes, hence the name Tinkerbell. Visually, she was first represented by a darting light on stage, which was created by a small mirror and a powerful lamp.

It was not until 1953, in Walt Disney's Peter Pan, that we first saw the little fairy in the green outfit, which has become the inspiration behind most Tinkerbell fancy dress costumes today. You can purchase a reasonably good looking Tinkerbell outfit from most specialist websites online, but if you want to make your costume stand out from the crowd, then you will need to buy some accessories.
Below are my top four accessory tips to help transform your Tinkerbell outfit.
Silver glitter wand
No fairy should be without a wand, how else will she make her man's wishes come true? The silver wand with a star will compliment your Tinkerbell fancy dress costume well, but please note that this sort of item is not suitable for children under 3 years old, due to small parts, so should be kept out of the reach of young children.
Snazaroo glitter dust
Tinkerbell is famous for the small amounts of pixie dust that follows her about whenever she moves. The Snazaroo glitter dust is not supposed to follow you around, but rather to give your face that pixie glow. This is a great example of a low cost item that can make a real difference to your overall look.
Fairy handbag
Where does every self-respecting fairy keep her magic fairy dust, or her keys and mobile for that matter? In her fairy handbag of course. This moss coloured pouch is made form different gauze materials and makes the perfect Tinkerbell accessory.
Ribboned pixie shoes
As with most costumes, the most important accessory you can buy for your outfit is some footwear and the ribboned fairy shoes with stiletto heels are ideal. The pixie shoes come with eight interchangeable ribbons, so you can change the colours as you like, depending on your mood.
