Elven Grove, Part 9
Here we feature even more costumes from our folks who have recreated some of the
wonders of the Elven folks.
Work here represents recreations at all skill levels.
Picture hyperlinks will open to more details about the costumes.
First Costume

New Order - Elrond's War Outfit
Galadriel and Legolas
|
Terri - Minnesota, USA Both costumes were made by Mom (me) on the
smallest possible budget we could. The material was purchased from
both JoAnn Fabrics and Walmart. We chose earthy browns and greens for
Legolas, with black material that I made into simple 'slipover' style
boots and arm leather. We did buy 'elf' ears from a costume shop,
but we fashioned Galadriels necklace from fimo-clay and baked it
ourselves. We also made Legolas's quiver from an oatmeal box, covered
in a suede like material. Safety arrows were used, as this is a
childs costume of course! Both wigs were bought very cheaply,
Legolas's is actually a "Barbie" wig with the bangs tucked under the
front so they don't show.

Arwen's Arch Dress
Elven Inspired Concert Dress
I'm in a choir and we always have to dress in black. I had the idea to
make something similar to Arwen's chase dress. I didn't have many good
examples back then so it turned out somewhat different.
I wear a cross necklace, which is I think a suitable substitute for
Arwen's jewel, especially when you often perform religious works like
Bach's passions, Mass in B minor and Händell's Messiah this winter. |
Hinke B. - the Netherlands It's a normal
black dress with a coat. The dress is sleeveless but the coat has the
characteristic sleeves similar to the chase dress and the farewell
dress.
The pattern is a modified dress pattern which can be used on any kind
of dress. My boyfriend's mom is a tailor and she made me patterns
exactly my size. So I don't need to buy patterns :). I guess you could
also use patterns which are often used and modified for a chase dress.
I'd like it if my mom-in-law showed me how to draw patterns in a
professional way. I know how to modify them but I need a basic model.
As fabric I used common black cotton and for the collar some shiny
fabric I don't know the name of.

Elven Gown of Lûthuinen
 |
Karolina, Sweden For this gown I used a Swedish
medieval pattern and made a few changes, for example I modified the
sleeves and the neckline. The fabric I used for the gown was fine linen.
The belt is my own design, but I was inspired by the belt of Arwen's
White Weta Dress. It is made of rosy-red wool. Also check out her

Ainaechoiriel's Sealonging Dress
Emerwen's Elven Dresses
Waeninuel
 |
Emerwen, MA USA
Modeled by Kim
Inspired by Arwen's Chase Dress. It's made out of
a wonderful dark green stretch velvet (black in some lights, green in
others). The under sleeves are made of a light white crinkle cotton. I
used Simplicity 9891 (Surprising.... ^-^ lol) with adjustments on the
sleeves (lower leaf-shaped panels) and I left the very bottom of the
seams open to make the dress "float" over the ground. Very effective. I
used grey and white fabric paint on the collar to create some art
nouveau designs.
