What LotR Costumes/Clothes Have You Made? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

How did you do your crown Laurinque? I was clipping back my willow tree yesterday (neither old man nor whomping) and thought about making a crown like Thranduil's Autumn one with the strands... so far it looks more like a crown of thorns but it was a first attempt and I have more...

I just realized that I'm working on my next costumes and haven't even published a photo of the one I made last year. So without further delay, here's Ioreth.

So sweet, checking if the warrior has fever.

Can already imagine the dialogue... "You don't look so good! Have you been eating right lately?"

Anyway, the costume looks great, I like how the red cross, becomes the red symbol of Minas Tirith, and blue and white fit well with working in the Houses of Healing.

Maybe a bag of athelas leaves as well?

Definitely! It's hanging from the belt, unfortunately not visible from this angle. My athelas supply consists of peppermint tea bags - a modern, convenient way to have herbs at hand!

Well... that would have been my only idea for improvement, but that means your costume was perfect.

All you need now is a picture with the costume amongst roses, to remind of Ioreth's home valley of Imloth Melui.
