The Green Fairy gets gilded for Candlemas!
Datura fairy wing design done in a green fairy palette on the Patina Green film with candy coat gold veins and variegated metal foil on the tips, embellished with Swarovski crystals.
I originally made these steampunk green fairy / absinthe themed wings for myself and wore them just once to the Edwardian Ball just a week ago attached to the flapping wing mechanism.
I’ve decided to let them go however, as I have my tooth extraction surgery coming up this week and money is more practical right now than another set of wings.
Not only am I offering the wings, I’m throwing in the corset too! The corset was not made by me, it was made for me by Melody BB Corsetry back in 2012. I only got to wear it a couple times unfortunately, and since it was made during a time when I was stressed, off of some needed meds and going through some health stuff it was made during a time when I had lost more weight than normal.
Needless to say, I’ve definitely gained it back and I don’t foresee it leaving my body enough to fit into this thing anymore. It’s better off being enjoyed than sitting in my closet forever.
The waist is roughly 24 inches, I think the bust should fit someone with a 36B size. It comes with matching shoulder straps that I had just pinned on, you can see them still attached in the photo below that shows the inside - oh did I mention it’s reversible?! That’s right, the other side is a watercolor purple look and that is the side the busk shows in. I had wanted the green side to have an invisible busk, which I wish more corset makers would offer! So this is really a special one.
Below you can also see a couple photos of me wearing the corset in 2012, and the extra clips that I was wearing back then as well, one on the corset at the hip and one in my hair. They both now have hair clip attachments in back but could still be clipped or pinned to the corset. I can throw those in too.
It could probably use a dry cleaning, there’s a bit of deodorant mark near the armpits that I think will come off. I’m sorry but if I waited for myself to take it to the cleaners it would probably be another year before I got around to it, it just needs to go.
I want to make a donation to a non-profit that’s helping the wildlife in Australia to recover from the bush fires from a percentage of the sale of this set and am seeking out the best one to give to.
I usually sell the gilded and bejeweled wings between $500 - $600 and these will come with the green / purple reversible corset & the two little flower pins shown at the hips as well as the larger hair clips.
I’m trying something different for this set, instead of listing it to my Shopify store I’m going to ask that those interested email me with an offer and I can then send a Shopify invoice to the buyer.
