What LotR Costumes/Clothes Have You Made?

[Nimrodel_9]

This isn't a movie cap or anything, but it's a really great version of the White Tree.

Thanks Enca! I will consider using that one. Elfwood, eh? I have a good friend (also a Tolkien fan) who has drawings there.

Well, not anything in any great detail mind now, but enough to get the gist of this very English ritual. Will you be having a Middle earth hen as preparation for your wedding with davem?

You are a very brave woman. Approaching a hen party is fraught with danger. And it sounds as though these were Geordie girls, which is even more scary. Now seeing as I don't really drink (I can only handle a pint) and I find gangs of party-hungry women truly frightening, then you can safely assume that I shall not be getting up to those kinds of antics.

Oh no, the thingie I've made is rather random and strange, almost as though it had fallen apart and had to be put back together agian, or as though it has been found in an attic, all in bits. It's not the kind of thing a traditional girlie might go in for. At least I hope not... I had to get davem to model it for me so I could see how it looked, and it didn't look girlie on him anyway (he'll kill me now...).

I was going to make LotRs joke shirts for people but that requires money... which was what I wanted to get out of the shirts, but that kinda...no-go'ed.

Anyways, I HAVE made one shirt which simply reads: BOROMIR FOR PRESIDENT

Why? Well, I've said it in several other threads when we got a little off track... Who can't admire a man who gets shot repeatedly in the chest but continues to finally die AFTER a deeply moving (nearly five minute) monologe. There was even a debate saying that it was Aragorn's kiss that killed him. ; )

I have made a elven-warrior cloak and tunic useing everything else I could find to finish it off. I also just recieved two beautiful cloaks from a friend as a gift. One of which looks EXACTLY like the Fellowship's Lothlorien cloaks. I am making a Gondorian peasant costume though it looks like a pile of fabric now.

This May for my prom a friend of mine helped me make an Arwen dress. It turned out really nice and I love it so!

How about some pictures of those costumes?!

Here is a picture of the dress that was made for me. It's in black and white so you can't tell what color it is. Unfortunately I have so decent color shots on my computer. I am quite interested to know what others think of it.

While this year I'm going as a Vide Game Character, A "Big Daddy" from Bioshock... surprised if anyone gets that... I once againsdebated with the prospect of a TreeBeard Costume. I'm thinking If I start now It'll be perfect for next year... Platform Shoes with molded rubber on the soles to look like stumps and make me taller or stillts with molded bottoms... then a mask might be easyish to do...

This is really not a LotR costume, but I and my friends made kind of club-shirts. In the front there's a text "LotR worship" (my mom didn't really like it, and would have liked it less if she knew that I was serious ). In the back I had text "Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning", because its both poetical and environmental. My friens had "Near is the hour when lost should come forth", "Faithful servant yet master's bane" and Where now Boromir the fair? He tarries, and I grieve". (One of them actually had also a shirt saying "Minulle 7 kpl Fëanorin poikia, kiitos", which means "I would like to have 7 sons of Fëanor, please". That's pretty idiotic .)
