This is a very good illusion but I think it could have been carried out better. Firstly, the background (forest) is too bright, imo, and competes with your subjects. Secondly, it's very hard to see the "faery," and she appears oddly positioned over the young woman's wrist. Focus is off and it looks as though you've applied noise reduction a bit too aggresively, as on the large tree on the right, which I also find distracting just from it's presence.

My guess is that you metered off the white dress and increased exposure compensation to get the white dress white, which you nailed, but in the process, you overexposed the rest of the picture. I think this picture has a lot of potential that can be realized with better post processing.

I hope you found this helpful and I didn't mean to sound harsh. If I was, then please accept my apologies.

The idea is good, very Madonna.
The background spoils it a bit, sloppy and dirty grey while the subject is exposed hot (near overexposure). Some work on the background (pastel tint to fit the time) without creases and more balanced light on the girl would make it work better.
The border would work better with hard straight lines, the eighties favoured that presentation.
