Looks like a light weight wire frame covered with light weight fabric to me..

For Halloween? A kid?

No, adult size. For kids, a lot of times a coat hanger or other heavy wire is shaped and then dyed pantyhose or other fabric is stretched and/or glued onto the frame. Then straps are put on them so the wings attach like a backpack.

I need it so the wings are lightweight enough not to droop or difficult to wear for any length of time, and that from the front, you can't see how they're attached. So no visible straps.
