Lord of the Rings costume Wish List.

So lets just say that I have a little obsession. Okay, well, a big obsession. A very big obsession. I am totally and completely in love with everything Lord of the Rings. And the movie costumes? Gorgeous. So I have taken it upon myself to recreate my favorite costumes from said motion picture trilogy. As soon as I learn how to sew. Okay, I admit, I already made one, but I made it with two curtain panels and fabric glue, and it recently fell apart. So, as soon as I fix or replace my broken sewing machine, and learn how to use it, I will re-make it. But until then, I guess a wish list will have to do.

1. Arwen's Requiem Gown. Probably my all time favorite, I love the colors of this dress, and the (varied) style of the sleeves. It's true, the sleeves are adjusted in a few scenes of RotK to allow for easy access (never mind how wrong that sounds!), but I think that I prefer the trumpet sleeves.
2. Eowyn's Shield-maiden dress. Beautiful and simple, with absolutely elegant sleeves.
3. Eowyn's brown refugee coat. I don't know exactly what it is I like about the coat, but I do have to admit that the shield-maiden dress wouldn't be entirely complete without it.
4. Arwen's coronation dress and crown. The crown may be out of my skill to recreate, but it is gorgeous nonetheless. And the dress is my all time favorite color! I also really love the highly detailed embroidery on the upper sleeves-intricate, yes-but I think I can manage.
5. Arwen's Hope gown. Okay, I think this one ties for first with the Requiem. I love the leafy pattern, and the dark maroon velvet fabric looks oh-so luscious, like a plump, succulent pomegranate!

Well, that's only my top 5 favorites, in no particular order, to be completely honest. I think that the easiest to make will be either the Shield-maiden (including coat) or the Hope. All the other dresses consist of an under and over dress, and very big lower sleeves.
