Lily Bombadil has just left Hobbiton.
Shield

I have what I call a Rohirrim gown. It consists of a gown and bodice, actually. The gown is an immense article of clothing, suited for any size, with sleeves that brush the ground at their longest point. This is made of off-white cotton gauze fabric, but don't be fooled by it's sheerness: it can be stifling in the Texas heat.

The bodice is made of an emerald green, course, loose-woven, rather stiff fabric that reminds me of burlap. it has wide shoulder straps, and it laces on either side. (I lace it with strips of dark leather so it looks rustic). Across the top of the bodice front is a strip of creme-and-hunter-green braid. It looks very Rohirrim to me. I love it. I have no pictures of it, unfortunately...

I like wearing long chains around my neck with it. It's so awesome.

I also have a cloak that looks very Elvish...well, I think so... Anyway, it's dark grey with a black and silver vine-like pattern and the hood (which has a black tassel) is lined with a silvery fabric. The pattern to this cloak is similar to the Fellowship's Elven cloaks, but mine drags the ground, so it's better suited to concealing my entire body than being travel-efficent (ie not making me trip!).
