General Description:

I decided very early to make this costume, exactly in the moment when it appears in this wonderful scene at the end of the movie. From the first moment I loved the unusual colour and the drape of the silk velvet.

The dress consists of an underdress with a small train and a wide round neckline. The upper sleeves are heavily beaded and the wide lower sleeves have to layers of different fabric. The jumper has a very long train and pools around the feet (which is very difficult to walk).

There is a narrow band with silver embroidery that holds the jumper.

All hems are rolled hems.

Accessories:

	shoes covered with lime green silk velvet
	the evenstar
	The wonderful butterfly crown, which was given to me from my friends and family for making all the costumes.

This was the fourth costume of our group for the costume contest at the RingCon 2004 in Germany.
