Or can anyone help me? I have a picture of what I want to do but I don't want to post it here as its someone elses.
I use photoshop.
Any help would be great! Thanks!

not sure what you mean.
as to posting the picture, if it's an effect you want to accomplish, i wouldn't hit you with copyright infringement. it's within the forum, and the purpose of posting it was to ask advice...
if you can annotate on the picture what you are looking to replicate, we can try and give you the best solution. if you want to crop the picture to the area of interest it's fine by me.

you'll need to really study how folds and panels of fabric drap around and over the parts of the body.
it's really no different than traditional drawing. you just bring the photo into a program like PS and mask the areas of the body (that have street clothes). if you are familiar with Poser, you may be able to replicate the pose and use some of the render to blend with the photo.
you'll need to build up gauze-like textures using brushes to achive the fairy clothes. you may also want to create special "twinkly" brushes for the "fairy-dust" effects...
there was an artist here a few years back that had some great brushes (i'll try and remember her name...) but i always like to make my own if possible (more control over the effect)
