I used to work in a cinema, and we started having dress up nights for big film releases...to add to the fun of a night out at the movies.

Move the mouse over the picture to see an image of the original costume that this was based on.

This is the dress I made (sorry, I'm no Liv Tyler) for the first night of the Lord of The Rings film, Return Of The King This was modelled on one of the dresses worn by Arwen. This costume had a plain black velvet dress as a base with deep red flowing sleeves, overlaid at the top of the arms with gold lace. Gold lace over red also form the border at the neckline.

I also made a copy of her Evenstar pendant to wear with the costume. I am not a jeweller so it was a little makeshift, but people seemed impressed.

I sold the complete costume, again on Ebay, it reached a good price...and again the buyer was very pleased with their purchase.
