Arwen's Chase Dress
Click on pictures for enlargements.
My mom and I used Vogue 1290 as the main pattern for my
costume. We used the rolled collar pattern from this website and designed
our own skirt petal and sleeve patterns. We used stretch suede for the green
parts of the costume. The white under sleeves/petals are a cream colored
silk essence. Instead of figuring out how to etch the suede we used fuzzy
fabric for the inner collar. We changed the colors because I thought they
were more elven and would look better on me.

| I made the belt buckle out of craft wire
and solder. |
We used ribbon to close the dress and as
the belt. |
My mom did the embroidery on the sleeves and I did
embroidery on the seams. The pants I got on sale at the mall.
Make sure you do a temporary stitch first! That is
my biggest piece of advice since it makes taking out the stitches a lot
easier.
And to all my fellow teens who are helping their
mothers help out as much as you can. I did and I feel that my costume is
truly my own because I did.
