Walt Disney, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell

In 1953, Walt Disney produced a cartoon version of the movie Peter Pan. After the release of this movie, Tinkerbell became on of Disney's most recognizable and famous characters.

The Disney Store sells all sorts of Tinkerbell items: Tinkerbell costumes, Tinkerbell shoes, Tinkerbell wands, and even Tinkerbell crowns.

Tinkerbell is so popular that she has recently been named as the main character in a series of books written for children. The first book that has been released in this series is called, "Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg," and the author is Gail Carson Levine.

Tinkerbell has also appeared on various television shows and she has also been a character in some kid-oriented video games.

Little Girls and Tinkerbell Costumes

With all of the exposure that the Tinkerbell character receives via merchandise in stores, movies, television, books, and on the internet, it's no wonder that little girls love her and want to dress as her when ever they are given the opportunity. Tinkerbell costumes are the perfect outfits for girls to wear for Halloween or for any sort of occasion when a costume is necessary.

Most Tinkerbell costumes, which can be found at the The Disney Store, on the internet (at stores such as BuyCostumes.com and Party America, can be purchased with matching slippers, a wand, wings, and pixie dust.

Tinkerbell costumes are usually sold at stores that also carry other Peter Pan character costumes - such as Peter Pan himself as well as Captain Hook.

Adult-Sized Costumes

Due to the fact that Tinkerbell has so many fans - both children as well as adults - many costume stores carry Tinkerbell costumes in adult sizes. This is very helpful for any adult who needs a Tinkerbell costume for an outfit to be worn in a play or other performance, to a Halloween party, or to any other occasion that requires a woman to dress as a fairy.

For the adult who wants to wear a Tinkerbell costume (for any reason), there is an option to purchase a "sexy" version. There are some internet stores which sell these costumes… most of which have invisible straps, are made of a tight and stretchy material. These sexy costumes are NOT appropriate for children to wear. Most of the Tinkerbell costumes that internet stores label as "sexy," are very short and do not cover all parts of a woman's body.
