i just recently bought a sewing pattern for an elvish-style dress (sort of like arwen's red dress), just waiting for it to get to my mail box! i am sooo excited, finally gonna make me my very own elven dress. (good thing my mom is a very good dressmaker) i probably won't have it done at once, gonna carefully select the fabrics i wanna use and stuff. next i'm gonna get a very nice pattern for a cloak to go with the dress  |

Sounds great, I'd love to see the dresses when you get them done! I like the sleeves on the last pic. They look very Elvish (or should I say like the costumes in the movie  ) |

Wow i'm sure that will be very pretty! if you need a cloak pattern, I got one from Wal-Mart. It is a McCalls pattern, and its for a cloak and a midevil-looking dress. It was in the costumes section. My mom and I made it in about a week (we were being lazy, it could be done in 2-3 days) and it turned out very nice. I used fleece so i could use it as a robe.

But hey people who already made dresses, please post pictures of the dresses and yourself wearing them, that'd be grat a I guess a huge inspiration to others too.... *imagines a whole sewing/knitting club where all A-U's members sit by the cozy fire place making dresses and talking good ol' days* ;D Anyway, maybe someone should make a combined show off what you've made/LotR costumes for dummies thread!  Oh, and it could actually be this one, so bring it on!!! |
