Here is what this doll looked like when I first bought her from the thrift store. She came with this really cute halter dress that was not very suitable as a fairy outfit.	The construction of the halter dress (which had no back) would've made it very difficult to glue on the fairy wings.	So I made her a new dress that could easily hold fairy wings.
I glued some glass leaf beads on the corners of the fairy wings as accents.
