What LotR Costumes/Clothes Have You Made? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I have made a elven-warrior cloak and tunic useing everything else I could find to finish it off. I also just recieved two beautiful cloaks from a friend as a gift. One of which looks EXACTLY like the Fellowship's Lothlorien cloaks. I am making a Gondorian peasant costume though it looks like a pile of fabric now.

This May for my prom a friend of mine helped me make an Arwen dress. It turned out really nice and I love it so!

How about some pictures of those costumes?!

Kitanna · 09-14-2005, 09:51 AM

Here is a picture of the dress that was made for me. It's in black and white so you can't tell what color it is. Unfortunately I have so decent color shots on my computer. I am quite interested to know what others think of it.

Looks lovely, Kitanna, and you look lovely in it! What color is it? The sleeve construction seems very interesting - does the cord pull the material together?

Kitanna · 09-14-2005, 10:53 AM

Thank you very much, Estelyn!

It was a navy blue body with red sleeves. The cord was there so if the sleeves got in my way I could pull them up and tie them.

Beautiful gown, Kitanna!

While this year I'm going as a Vide Game Character, A "Big Daddy" from Bioshock... surprised if anyone gets that... I once againsdebated with the prospect of a TreeBeard Costume. I'm thinking If I start now It'll be perfect for next year... Platform Shoes with molded rubber on the soles to look like stumps and make me taller or stillts with molded bottoms... then a mask might be easyish to do...

This is really not a LotR costume, but I and my friends made kind of club-shirts. In the front there's a text "LotR worship" (my mom didn't really like it, and would have liked it less if she knew that I was serious

). In the back I had text "Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning", because its both poetical and environmental. My friens had "Near is the hour when lost should come forth", "Faithful servant yet master's bane" and Where now Boromir the fair? He tarries, and I grieve". (One of them actually had also a shirt saying "Minulle 7 kpl Fëanorin poikia, kiitos", which means "I would like to have 7 sons of Fëanor, please". That's pretty idiotic

.)
