Starlight Magic Cape & Wand Set

Gold stars from collar to hem, with a few silver ones tucked in for whoever looks closely. The cape is a sheer pale blue, so whatever is worn underneath shows through like a sky at dusk, and the foil stars flash when the light finds them. A band of gold trim gathers the neckline into a soft ruffle, and a sheer gold ribbon ties in a bow at the front.

Then there’s the wand: a glittering gold star with a soft blue border, on a slim handle wound in gold stripes. Together they suit a fairy, a wizard or a very small astronomer equally well, on Halloween or on any afternoon with spells to cast. What the spells actually do is your kid’s department.
