Description OMG! I finally put pictures up of this!
I must say first off that this costume is my baby! I'm so extremely happy with how it tuned out, I can't even explain!
It's made of velvet, just borring cotton silk, but very shiny and pretty all the same. And just a silk-ish looking polyester. the sleeves are huge and not convenient at all when wearing this dress. They look perdy though!
I found the lace trim at a yard sale, the lady was selling a box of trims n lace for like $5! I bought the whole thing and have all the trim sitting unused in my cupboard.
As I'm sure everyone has noticed, the lace around the neck isn't beaded yet, the sleeve beading isn't completely done either, but it was such a good day to do piccies that i didn't care and just wanted picturesof this dress to finally put up.
I've been working on this dress for over a year now! I know it's rediculous! I kept going on and off, and just stared at it sitting on the manaquin, while watching TV.
Just need to finish the beading and maybe make a little perse bag out of some left over velvet

Oh maybe I should talk about the character. This is a dress that i designed for my character Faewyn of Doriath. She's the daughter of Galadriel n Celeborn and the LOOOOOVE of Legolas's life! Yeah! Bite my a$$ if u dont like that!
Actually honestly, Legolas is not one of my faves anymore, but when Faewyn was created I luved him, so obviously Faewyn would be with him. She wears this dress when her best little hobbit friend Anya Brandybuck is leaving for the Grey Havens with Frodo. It's all very sad! you can see the drawing I did of this scene here [link]

*self-criticising note* Can my hair please not look so friggin stringy?! WTF? I swear it's not always like that! :S

Very beautiful.
And you do know- you have a sister. She was Elrond's wife XD
It is cool to see an original character from Doriath.
My favorite part of the dress is probably that you rotated the types of fabric on the front and sides. Nice work.

WHOA! That's awsome! How'd you make it? I've been looking for a good pattern to make an elf-like dress....What pattern did you use?

i actually made the pattern myself, i have a body block that fits me and i just went from there. if you would like to make your own block you can check it out here [link] it's a little complicated, but once you do it once, it's pretty easy.
Good Luck!

That is simply stunning, the colors!! Although, is it gray or light green, I can't tell on my laptop

I love it though, and that lacing on the back That is some feat!! Is it all adjustable, or just sewn in place? It's just stunning... I can't quit scrolling up looking at it

It's a minty green, both fabrics, but the velvet is a bit warmer. The lacing on the back was indeed a challenge! GAH! Its it adjustable, theres tiny loops of cording sewn into the seams and the lacing is pulled through. The back is my fave part!

Wow, that is just awesome! I love the green... so pretty (I'm looking at it on my regular computer, and it looks so much better ) The lacing is just blowing my mind!!

Any more beautiful outfits planned?

That, my dear, is gorgeous. Where'd the pattern come from? I love the criss cross of ribbon in the back..

The apttern came from my brain. I dont really like using commercial patterns i always want to change them sooo much that theres no point in using them at all and just start from scratch.
And yes the criss cross ribbon is my favorite part to!
