    5.0 out of 5 stars Whimsical Vogue
    Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2010
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    I have several books of faerie art ranging from dark to silly and this is a nice, sweet whimsical addition with really stunning illustration. It's a flirty, fanciful faery Cosmo magazine, full of dresses made of dried flower's petals and dandelion fluff. Nothing is too girly, there's no such thing as too many embellishments or too much color and it's all tied together with loopy script and light text.

    The book itself is lovingly created, the paper heavy and glossy, the book substantially weighty and large. It works well as a coffee table book just because it's fun to look at; it doesn't need any other purpose. If you like faeries, if you like silly fashion and books that exist just because they look nice and make you smile and feel happier and don't need any deeper meaning than that, then this is perfect. I've paged through it many times and loaned it out quite a few more.

    I have a niece who's very into faeries at the moment and I actually ended up recreating several outfits in this book for her dolls using parts of silk flowers and ribbons - so it's not just lovely to look at, it's inspirational too.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2003
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    This book is just beautiful. It's an obvious must have for Fairy lovers, but flower lovers will have their breath taken away as well. It's filled with whimsy and the most amazing artwork, it's perfect for just about anyone's coffee table who likes a lighthearted "something different".
    Another plus to the book is how heavy the pages are. They're nice and substantial, meaning it's OKAY TO PAGE THROUGH without feeling like the book will flake apart in your hands! Often I find when books are about delicate fairies, they feel the book itself needs to be delicate - in this case, it's definitely for browsing.
    It's simply beautiful, and remarkable, and memorable. A winner.

    Amazing book, very imaginative. Never thought I would enjoy thumbing thru a book on Fairies, but this one is great. Wonderful artistic work, hard not to believe in their world. The part about a wedding party's cloths catches your attention; you rush to see what the bride's dress looks like. Hard to believe a 72 year old man could enjoy such a thing.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2012
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    My eight year old daughter is obsessed with fashion design and fairies. This book combines her two greatest loves and sparks her imagination. This book inspires her in a way a cheap toy never will. It is much larger than I expected. I love how the designs dominate the pages and there is minimal text. I gave it as a gift with feathers, twine etc. She'll spend hours outside gathering extra "design materials" and measuring. This goes well with any of the fairy home books by Tracy Kane.

    This is one of the most wonderful books that I have ever bought. It is a fashion book of Fairy clothing done in a very artful and artistic publication. It is impossible to describe all of the surprises that you will encounter in this book. I loved it so much, I ordered another one that I can save for "good" while I really use this one. I plan to make my own Fairy Fashions with the inspiration gleaned from this impressive collection.

    Reviewed in France on March 23, 2018
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    Nice book, worth what I paid for it (bought secondhand) : the clothes are nice enough, but using only leafs, flowers and other natural elements kind of deprive it of originality, in my opinion.
    The only point really worth noting is the part where some pages are cut horizontally and allow us to mix the clothes ! =)

    This is a beautiful book which I used to inspire some natural collage work with Key Stage 2 pupils following a suggestion from another teacher on social media. Despite being ‘fairy’ clothes, even the boys were engaged by some of the quirky designs. Great for someone interested in fashion or photography as a table top book.
