Costume Thread.... OF DOOOMM!!!!

Boromir's costume was truly inspired. One thing that struck me was the color of the silk tunic he wore. The color is very close to Tyrian Purple (more red than the purple we know today), notably in medieval times worn only by high nobility vis the Eagle Dalmatic here(scroll down to mid page)<BR><A HREF="http://www.virtue.to/articles/extant.html" TARGET=_blank>Eagle Dalmatic</A><P>If this was the intent of the costumer it was brilliant. If they just liked the color, still the costuming was fantastic.<P>
