Why are there no mass-market sewing patterns for BOY'S fairy prince costumes?



>_> *shrugs*

Because "fairy" is not a word that most of society wants to associate with boys? It's a bad word. Shhhh...

And you would be making fairy costumes... why?

But that's so... so... sexist! O_o;

I'm not, really. ^____^ Just perusing the 'what's new' page to see if there're any patterns that catch my eye. Ran into the last one on the page - a girl's fairy costume. Became annoyed. >_> My fingers took it from there. ^___^

There are boy fairy costumes *somewhere*; I know because there were some in the Pride Parade when I participated. ^___^ Sure wish I'd had my digital camera back then. ^_~

Adapted from something else, maybe? We've mated patterns before to make things we couldn't find patterns for. Made a somewhat goth type shirt from a wedding dress pattern once. ^______^

The fairies in the parade involved a whole lot of chiffon wings and spandex g-strings. And curly-toed shoes. ^____^ I just love gay male strippers.

Most adult seem to use peter pan designs(with wings added) for the base of a boys fairy costume, since most adult men fairy costumes seem to have little actual cloth.

*thinks of the parade 'fairies'*

Yeah. As little cloth as possible. O_o; *drools*

It annoys me, I guess, that boys have such socially limited costume options. >.o Equality was supposed to go both ways. *sigh*
