Since I used Simplicity 4940 for this dress I wanted to try it on and look at the skirt shape to see if I want to use it as a base for Eowyn's dress and I think yes, this is the fullness I want. I will lay it out as well to check. With lighter fabric I hope it won't be quite as weighty as this costume is. Liv Tyler wasn't kidding that her dresses helped her move in an Elven way just from their weight and drape. I found some bubble gauze cotton and linen/linen blends that I think will work well at my scouting trip to Joanns today.
While I have you here LOOK AT THESE SLEEVES

This was the very first pattern I drafted on my own instead of following the store bought pattern! I believe the real costume is lined but the shape is screen accurate. You have to hold your hands at your waist like Arwen in all her promo images or they'll get lost!

My big project for Season 17. This pattern is what you find when you search on “Edwardian cardigan.” It’s by Kathy Merrick, it’s nine different colours of fingering weight yarn, and it took me most of the summer.
YES I MADE A SWEATER FOR MARGARET BRACKENREID AAAAAH
(Also Arwen is one of the nicest people I’ve met. Total honour to knit for her.)

Some details of my Arwen ‘dying’ gown.
Embroidered by hand in silk, brass, glass, and gold over a sari trim padding. Red silk and cotton in the sleeves and collar hand dyed by me.

✨🍃Tolkien throwback🍃✨ - Pippin, Gildor Inglorion, and Arwen paper doll (2000s for Gildor and Arwen, 2011 for Pippin) ✨ . I had quite a lot of fun with the paper dolls (as a budding cosplayer it was especially satisfying to draw all the details from the clothes 😁👌 Anatomical flaws aside 😅 xD). From left to right: Angel Dress, Chase Dress, Rose Dress, Bridge Dress, Lavender Beaded Gown and Blood Red Dress. . . 🎨Media: Graphite, inks, colour pencils, metallic pens, markers. . ✨References: Alan Lee watercolour from LOTR for Gildor, promotional picture of Pippin from LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring. Art concepts and promo pics for Arwen's dresses from LOTR .

If I could use these elven circlets and dresses as daily wear, I would. Modern life sometimes gets in the way to be my proper fantasy self.

My fancy dress-itis had a flare up, so here's a traveling outfit for Arwen, perhaps when journeying between Rivendell and Lothlorien.

Two costumes, 20 years apart
Left: Return of the King Arwen-inspired dress, 2003 Right: House of the Dragon Rhaenyra screen accurate dress, 2023
Both of these costumes were based on screen-used dresses, using self drafted patterns and my best attempt at recreating what was seen in the filmed media. Both feature neckline trim with beading applied over top, and screen-accurate jewelry, but that's about where the similarities end.
The Return of the King dress was made fairly quickly, over the course of about a month in the fall of 2003, and used a modified stretch velvet dress I already had on hand. The underdress was drafted from scratch, but a t-tunic shape without set-in sleeves was about the height of my pattern drafting skills at the time. I remember carefully figuring out the shape for the lower sleeve, to get the bell to hang right. Just about every bit of it is polyester. Neither the cut, color, nor fabric is accurate to what's in the movie, but I wanted something that had the feel of one of Arwen's dresses, just for the fun of dressing up for the premiere, and it certainly achieved that.
By contrast, the House of the Dragon dress was made over about 8 months, from January to August 2023. The pattern was drafted from my measurements into a 10 panel princess seam dress, with the waist, hip, and skirt measurements being equal in every panel. Both the red overdress and the black underdress (providing opacity and a modesty panel under the back lacing, but otherwise unseen here) are made from 100% silk fabric. The trim at the neckline and the narrower trim along the vertical seamlines are both polyester, but the beads over the neckline trim are garnet rondelles rather than plastic. The screen-accurate earrings were made by me as well, and along with other purchased jewelry and the wig (also styled by me) complete the over all screen accurate look -- as opposed to whatever earrings I threw on in 2003 and the weird hair color I was sporting at the time, lol.
My sewing and general costuming skills have definitely improved in the last 20 years, but it's interesting to see that both of these dresses have a bit of trouble with the neckline not wanting to lay flat. For the Arwen dress, this was because I didn't yet know how to iron trim to curve it before applying it to a round neckline, and I chose bad trim for achieving that, anyway. For Rhaenyra, the problem was that the V neck was cut on the bias and stretched more than I had anticipated, and I didn't realize it until after the trim was all on and the lacing in the back grommetted right through it. I did look closely at fixing that by taking in the top edge of the center front by a fraction, but I had actually attached the trim so well that I couldn't move that seam without damaging the trim.
The other similarity between these two dresses is perhaps the most important of all: people at the event knew who I was dressed as, and I had an absolute blast wearing both costumes. Still, it's fun to look back at the improvement in my skills over the last 20 years.
