For the Faeries, the look of authentic Athenian garments would be better suited. the idea that they are from a different time and place would help to create the feel of the difference between the Gods and the mortals. they colors should be vibrant but with more floral and neutral tones. Fabric should be light and airy, to give the illusion of movement without moving.
For the mortals, the idea of 19t century clothing would be good. This is when the play is originally placed and therefore it would fit for the mortals to be within that time period as well. Their colors should be darker with just splashes of colors, such as greens, blues, and purples. The occasional red and orange can be present but, with that it might stray too far into the Faerie world.
