I try to make a elven costume inspired on the lotr ones,
but I was kind of hard because I didn't find the material here so I made
I as best as I could. The ears were just to difficult to make...but I
did find some large one and cut them to get the right size They
were made of latex. I had a lot of fun making this... fulfilling a dream
=)

Arwen's Coronation Gown
|
Nazareth - Spain The gown is made from brocaded
and silk with silver trims. |

Aduial - North Carolina, USA Pattern: Butterick
#5944, modified for both the inner and outer robes. Fabric: Inner robe
and sash-French lilac silk dupioni, Outer robe-ivory silk dupioni.
I found this costume relatively easy to do once I got started and did
a mock-up. All it really required was using one pattern for both robes,
removing some pieces (i.e. removing the collar on the outer robe) or
adding some inches so this flowed better. Dupioni was the basis of this
costume, and the inspiration came from one of the Elves walking next to
Arwen's horse in "Return of the King." I named said Elf "Lindir" after
the Elf that teased Bilbo in the books.

Here's my Xmas present from the New Line Store. |
Hinke B. - the Netherlands
My
chase dress is not in the same colors as Arwen's version. I just
thought I wouldn't look too kinky in grey. I didn't use any simplicity
patterns but just adjusted my personal basic pattern. I've made an
underdress of white fabric. I don't really know what kind it is as I
bought it on the market but it's really supple and smooth. The trick
is to make this an extra wide skirt. To make a wide skirt is simply to
leave the waist the same as the standard pattern but expand the
downside to the width of half the width of the fabric. I usually take
fabrics that are 150 cm in width so my skirt gets to be about 150cm in
width near my feet.
The underskirt has two-part sleeves. The
upper sleaves are standard sleeves cut off above the elbows and then
trumpet sleeves are attached. By chance I have found cotton that
wrinkles when in water and this gave this cool effect. I know the
fabric is way too mundane for an Elf but I used it for the effect. The
bodice is quite standard although I made a low v collar in it so it
would be invisible with the overdress on.
The overdress is green and made of some
kind of velvet, I don't really know as I bought it on the market. I
suppose my bf's mom knows as she's a tailor. The bodice and collar are
made like shown on the alleycat page describing the chase dress so I
don't think I will elaborate on that. It was a challenge though and my
collar turned out too big so I'll have to take it in. If I don't find
the time to do it decently, I'll just fold it in and stitch it lightly
so it won't be too obvious that I've been improvising. The front and
back of the skirts are open and I wear a white legging under it with
boots.I also made a cool sword out of a toy
pirate sword. I can't afford the real Hadfahang :(. I took the gold
part of the handle off and molded clay on the handle to make it smooth
and painted it.
