costumes

[Alatariel]

On the weekend I had a LOTR party for my birthday (well, actually my birthday was in August... it was a little late [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ) and I dressed up as an elf. My sister made me a dress out of white material... it was really long, and had sleeves which opened out at the end. I had bare feet and I made myself a circlet out of glass beads and wire... it looked great!
One of my more insane friends came as a "gay Legolas" - she had a gold wig, really tarty make-up, tights and a long green t-shirt with a belt around her waist. She also had a bow and arrow she got from a toy shop!
Another of my friends came as a Black Rider, what she did was wear lots of blakc in layers. She had a long black skirt, then over that another long black skirt around her armpits, a black top, yet anotherblack skirt around her shoulders and and a black cloak over it all, and on her head she wore a black halloween mask, one which allows you to see out, but no-one else ca see in... we all looked really cool.
I was thinking of being a hobbit, before my sister offered to make me a dress, these were my ideas:
Loose, dark-coloured trousers cut off just below the knee, a shirt with baggy sleeves a sort of dinner-jacket thing I found in my wardrobe (honestly no idea where it came from!) and possibly a green cloak over the top of it all.

Hope these ideas help you!
