Fashion Inspiration: Disney Fairies Part 1 – Silvermist & Fawn
Editor’s Note: If you’re new here, we know what you might be thinking: why is a college website talking about Disney characters? But as you’ll see, inspiration can be found everywhere, and with creativity, it’s possible to create real-life-wearable looks inspired by unconventional muses. Don’t think it can be done? Read on and see for yourself!
Growing up, most of us watched Peter Pan and were intrigued by the feisty little fairy, Tinkerbell. Recently, Disney has made three movies that take an in-depth look at Tinkerbell’s life before Peter Pan. We didn’t grow up watching these movies, but I have watched all three of them, including “Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue” which was just released last week, and they are adorable! The world of fairies is such an interesting place, and Disney does a great job of answering all the questions you’ve ever had about Tinkerbell and where she comes from.
Tinkerbell isn’t the only fairy to star in her movies. Her friends, Silvermist, Fawn, Iridessa, Rosetta and Vidia all play important roles in her story, and each of them have different fairy talents. This article focuses on Silvermist, the Water Fairy, and Fawn, The Animal Fairy.
For more Disney-inspired looks, check out our past articles on Walt Disney’s Snow White, Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, Walt Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Walt Disney’s Cinderella, Walt Disney’s Princess Jasmine, Walt Disney’s Princess Tiana, Walt Disney’s Pocahontas, Belle from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Jane Porter from Disney’s Tarzan, Megara from Disney’s Hercules, Emeralda from Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Walt Disney’s Mulan.
Silvermist, the Water Fairy
Silvermist is a laid-back, positive character. Her job as a Water Fairy is to watch over the rivers and lakes, and make sure the dewdrops are in the right places.
Casual
For a casual outfit inspired by Silvermist, I used a tiered skirt that seems to imitate waves in a gorgeous shade of blue. The outfit is simple and sleek, just like Silvermist’s attire. To finish it off, I used a necklace with beads that are shaped like drops of water.

Dressy
For an occasion that requires a dressier outfit, I chose a satin cocktail dress with a watery sheen. For accents, I chose the color silver (her name is Silvermist) with the ring being in the shape of a wave.

Fawn, The Animal Fairy
Out of all of Tinkerbell’s friends, Fawn is definitely the biggest tomboy. Her job as an Animal fairy is, of course, to take care of the animals. She can speak and understand all of the different animal languages.
Casual
For a casual Fawn outfit, I used skinny corduroy pants, a fuzzy vest, and cute, comfortable boots. I also added a butterfly clutch and an owl necklace, since Fawn loves her animal friends.
Clutch- Endless, Pants- Dorothy Perkins, Vest- Buckle, Boots- Modcloth, Necklace- Modcloth, Tee- Buckle
Dressy
If Fawn were to wear a dress, she wouldn’t be true to her tomboy style, so for a dressier outfit inspired by her, I used a chocolate brown pair of trousers with a beautiful top and chic-yet-comfortable oxford shoes. I also used a bird ring, because of the memorable scene in the movie where Fawn teaches a frightened bird to fly.

I think you could do GREAT things with these guys’ as inspiration. On that note I think you did perfectly with the water fairy (especially the dressy one)! But on another note little disappointed with the animal fairy (love animals) but the dressy one wasn’t “dressy” to me and it was just kind of…blah. But thanks!
Irina
oh my goodness when i saw that these were fairy inspired i was thinking “pfft yeah right” but i actually like these even better than the disney princess ones! the silvermist and fawn inspired outfits are adorable and monochrome is in, so i will definitely be trying to recreate these looks!
Shannon
Love it! I had been hoping for a Pixie Hollow article but I wasn’t sure if anyone else in my age group even watched the movies…plus Silvermist and Fawn are my favorites!
eleni

I’m kind of embarrassed to say that the little girl I babysit got me hooked on the Pixie Hollow online game this summer, haha. I’ve yet to see any of the movies though!
I love the Fawn-inspired outfits– they’re perfect for autumn and the color palette is gorgeous. I’m also a sucker for any kind of owl jewelry :)
Good job on these outfits Calli!
Sierra Young
You should do a “Gone with the Wind” one!!!!
Jen
I LOVE the third outfit. It’s absolutely amazing.
Gracey
These are so cute! I love the second outfit so much! That may have just inspired my homecoming outfit :) great post as always
Ellie
I adore Silvermist’s outfits that you created. Absolutely gorgeous, good job!
Megan Smith
Sooo cute ! I love this post :)
Caity
Hey Calli!
I love the disney posts. They’re so creative and different! Plus, as a HUGE disney fan, they bring back memories =) You should do a Mary Poppins one next!
Lyra
Aw, these are so cute! I love the first and second looks.
Tiffany
OHMYGOD! I love the dressy outfit for Silvermist! Great post!! :D
Cara
I cannot WAIT until you do Rosetta!! The red-haired Southern girly-girl, voiced by Kristin Chenoweth? It simply doesn’t get any better, dahlin’. (Secret – she’s actually been the background on my computer for two weeks or so, now.)

I wish you did tinkerbell
Rin
Wow, these are great! I have never seen the movies but I’ve heard about them. Who knew they would be such great inspiration for fashion?
Ashley
i love this! the disney ones are so inspiring because i worked at disney world for a little bit, so it’s really interesting.
i’d love to see peter pan! you could do tinkerbell, tiger lily, wendy, etc.

No clue who these fairies are, but this is a cute idea. I like almost everything in this post. The only things I am not a fan of are the blue dress and the brown trousers, not my style. I would love to see a post on Monsters Inc or Finding Nemo, I know they would be hard, but they could be really fun too! Who doesn’t love Dory?!?!?!?!
Milana
Not my style in any way, but cute :)
Laura
I own the shoes from dELIA’s in the fourth outfit! I actually bought them because you guys featured them in a previous post…I LOVE THEM!!! Thank you, CF!
Christy
I definitely like Silvermist better than Fawn. I was kind of hoping to see Kida, Jessie from Toy Story, Maid Miriam from Robin Hood, or even Daisy Duck or Minnie mouse since they are the epitome of Disney. But this was good too!
Alexandria Comish
I absolutely love these!!! I love Disney movies and This has been a huge inspiration to me to come across this. You should do Disney villains, they’re my favorite. Also you should do Pinnochio, Fantasia, Dumbo, 101 Dalmations, The Jungle Book, The Aristocats, and Peter Pan. I know a lot of them are animals as characters, but you just do so well I’m sure you could do it. Maybe a fall/winter version of your outfits as well. It’s going to be winter soon, but I’d still love to wear your outfits.
Love your work!
Noelle
Hey, I met them in real life! Love these!
Keegan
You do such a great job with all of these posts! They are so cute! Keep them coming!!
Sarafine
These are amazing!!! I love reading your posts!!

Maid Marian, Robin Hood
Minne mouse
Pinocchio
Fantasia
good luck!!1
Sarah
I’d love to see something based on the classic animated features Peter Pan (ie, peter, wendy, hook), Alice in Wonderland, or Robin Hood
