Escaping into a fantasy world is a great way to get whisked away from the worries and concerns of living in the 21st century. For many folks, delving into a good book or watching a completely absorbing movie is the perfect way to spend a few hours in an alternate reality. You can take your passion for the pretend one step further by dressing up as a character from your unreal utopia. In February, 2011, Vanity Fair magazine asked readers which fantasy world they'd most like to visit. Below are the top results with our extra commentary with great costume ideas for each.
Narnia: The largest number of respondents wished to visit Narnia, the make- believe world in C.S. Lewis' series of books including "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe." Dress up in one of several Narnia costumes including the White Witch whose ethereal and quite beautiful gown masks her evil intentions. Or, you could dress as young Peter in his knight costume with sword and shield as he dashes off to protect the kingdom.
Neverland: The fictional world of A.J. Barrie, Neverland is home to Peter Pan, Tinkerbelle and the Lost Boys. A perfect escape for the person who really doesn't want to grow up! Popularized by Disney, you can easily find Peter Pan costumes and Tinkerbelle costume for every shape and size. Of course, the villain from this story is the dastardly Captain Hook who tries in vain to do away with Peter Pan.
Hogwarts: Go back to school at Hogwarts, the famous yet fictional academic institution for wizarding boys and girls. Donning a Harry Potter costume may be the most obvious choice of all, you can also cast spells dressed as Ron, Hermione, Dumbledore, Hagrid or one of the many interesting characters in this series created by author, J.K. Rowling.
Middle Earth: Long before Hogwarts, wizards, hobbits and fairies roamed through Middle Earth in an epic adventure with evil pitted against good. Some of the most famous characters and costumes from this fantasy series written by J.R.R. Tolkien include the hobbits Frodo, Sam and Pippn, Aragon, the elf Legolas, the wizard Gandolf and of course, the fallen and hideous hobbit, Gollum.
Wonderland: Jump down a rabbit hole with Alice in this long-loved tale originally written by Lewis Carroll but adapted many times, most famously in cartoon by Disney and on the big screen by Tim Burton. Fantasy costumes from this wild ride of a tale include the crazy with eclectic clothing and a wild shock of red hair, a severe-looking Queen of Hearts costume, and the sweet and innocent Alice costume with her signature blue dress.
