Artist uses flower petals to create intricate fairy dresses.
A 20-year-old Japanese artist named Momotsuki creates “Fairy Dress,” a distinctive style of art that combines her passion for gardening and her sense of imagination.
If you stop to think about it, flowers make excellent costumes for fairies.
Nevertheless, you need creativity and expertise to transform flowers into useful clothing, and Momotsuki, the gifted designer of the “Fairy Dress” business, has both in spades.
The 20-year-old woman, a passionate gardener with over 14 years of expertise, had the wonderful idea to meld her love of imagination, especially fairies, with her enthusiasm for plants.

“I have been gardening for about 14 years since I was a child, and over time I have gradually increased the number of plants,” Momotsuki recently told Bored Panda. “I’ve always admired the fantasy world, and when I saw the existence of fairies, I thought, ‘this, for some reason, makes me emotional’”.
Most of the flowers used for the whimsical fairy dresses come from Momotsuki’s own garden, but there are some notable exceptions.
She sometimes uses store-bought flowers that have begun to wilt, flowers discarded on the street, or fallen flowers collected from someone else’s garden, with permission.
“I also pick flowers that are damaged and look as if they will fall off in a day’s time, or I pick flowers with petals that fall apart and scatter when I touch them,” the artist writes on her website.
“I also cut off some of the damaged and discolored petals of flowers to make them look beautiful, and sometimes pick up flowers that have fallen or broken off in the wind or rain to make the dresses.”

Momotsuki made her first fairy garment in April of 2021, according to the Fairy Dress website.
While battling depression, she was taking a stroll in her yard when she suddenly spotted a blossom and had the inspiration for a delicate dress.
It seemed to have worked out so well that she persisted with it.
She posted pictures of a fairy garment fashioned out of roses, ivy, periwinkle, and hydrangeas on Twitter a month later, and they received 180,000 likes.
The musician was mentioned multiple times in television programmes as a result of the web buzz. Since then, her brand has been expanding.
“For me, fairy dresses started out as something I did by myself for fun. However, many people told me that the fairy dresses had healing qualities, and I gradually started making them with prayers in my heart,” Momotsuki says.
“Even if the fairy dresses do not have a place in your heart, there is something about them that will gently support you subconsciously.”
