Elven Grove, Part 1

Here we feature costumes from our folks who have recreated some of the wonders of the Elven folks.

Works are placed in here chronologically. The first sets were made even before the movie came out.

Work here represents recreations at all skill levels.

Picture hyperlinks will open to more details about the costumes.

Pics from the very first folks to recreate the elven people...

Arwen's Angel Dress

ArtistGirL74 USA

I made my version of "Arwen's" "Angel Dress". I am a full figured woman who had trouble finding patterns that fit my size and was unable to buy the ready made version because of this. I wanted to help anyone like myself who feels left out of the fun because of size." Posted because my goal is to help others like myself who feel left out.

Check out the construction detail and the patterns used on her web site:

Ginger's Galadriel Crown

I have been costuming seriously for about 4 years, but I've been sewing for 8. This, however, is my first attempt at metalworking.

Eowyn's Riding Dress

Orchid Elf Dress

Naira Texas, USA

	I used pattern 9891 from Simplicity. I left off the drape at the neckline and put bias tape around it instead, and then added a decorative store-bought trim. I made different sleeves from a pattern I had already made. I found both the fabric and the trim at Hancock Fabrics.

Liz's Mirror dress

Liz G New Jersey, USA

I started with Simp's 9891, first made in muslin, and then remade with different seams (ie a lot less and in different places). So it's probably more accurate to say half 9891 half imagination.

Gabrielle Georgia, USA

Dress:

	Simplicity Pattern 9891 View A. Longer sleeve and hem cause of my height (6'0")
	The fabric was Casa Satin and a stiffer something I can't remember, but it is not chiffon.

Cloak:

	Simplicity Pattern 9887 View D. Just 5 inches longer than pattern.
	Velvet fabric found on ebay for $5 a yard. French seamed for a nice neat look if the interior is seen

Accessories:

Hair ornament made by me. It's Braided craft wire with tiny gold beads. The jewels are Austrian crystals. It's held on with bobby pins. The pendant and maple brooch were found in my old jewelry collection.

There is a little storyline on the page to go with the dress. There are also ALT tags you can read if you mouseover the pics.
