Lord of the Rings Eowyn Shieldmaiden Gown

I loved this costume right away and when I found the perfect crinkled jacquard silk for the skirt and sleeves, I knew I had to make it! The corset and vest are made of a brown suede fabric. I quilted the corset, and trimmed it and the vest with two different trims to give the effect of the embroidery. The corset was modified to be an over-the-bust corset, rather than an under-the-bust one like the real one. The undergown is made of china silk that has an embroidered and pintucked neckline. The lower sleeves and overskirt are made of the crinkled silk jacquard. The lower sleeves are gathered and tied with cord, and braided trim wraps around the upper sleeves.

Lord of the Rings Eowyn Green Gown

This gown was made from a green moleskin fabric. The yoke, sleeve lining, undersleeves, underskirt, and skirt panel are made from a green brocade. The yoke was quilted by me. The trim lining the collar is exactly the same trim used in the movie costume. The yoke trim is a similar bullion trim, but not exact. The belt was bought at Target and repainted gold. The front over the overskirt pulls up and is tied at the waist.

I'm actually selling this gown. More information here. If anyone is interested, let me know!
