“Everyone is like a butterfly, they start out ugly and awkward and then morph into beautiful, graceful butterflies that everyone loves.”
-Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore in Ever After
Does everyone remember thinking how gorgeous Drew Barrymore looked in the butterfly costume when Ever After first came out? Her dress was such a vintage delight and her makeup was so pretty with the rhinestones forming a “V” on her forehead. Every girl wanted to be a butterfly for Halloween that year.
I’m here to tell you that butterflies are back. Or maybe they’ve never gone away. Let’s see what buterflies you can shop for.

First is the butterfly top perfect for the warm summer weather we’re having. It would be great to wear to the swimming pool.

butterfly necklace
This necklace is so delicate and vintage looking. Below is a unique creation of a hair clip that consists of monarch butterflies. The butterfly clip is so wistful and nostalgic.

butterfly wings and tutu
The above product of butterfly wings and tutu would be a great costume for your little girl and boy. Please do not dress your boy up in butterfly wings. I have NEVER just up my son in girl clothes (he he). At least not in front of my husband.
Butterflies will forever remind me of Drew Barrymore in Ever After and my sister, Nora, who wouldn’t me majoring in Earth Science if it weren’t for beautiful things from nature such as butterflies.
