Natalya~week 22~Costumes, Costumes!

Hello everyone!

Well...I'm back into the "phase" (which I'm never really out of, just more into sometimes) of making Movie Costume Replicas. These replicas can go from simple to elaborate, and I thought I'd share a few.

Boramir from Lord of the Rings. (made for my brother, Josh)
This is a good shot of the costume, even if my brother looks very "in character" here! ;) The costume consists of a red tunic with a small split in the bottom for leg movement. The short sleeves are detailed with a gold braid around the bottom, and I used gold fabric paint on the main part of the sleeve to draw on the pattern seen in the film. (it was embroidered in the real movie) The vest is black vinyl with small silver hooks for the closures. Josh wore his own brown shirt and blue jeans with it. Along with his own leather belt (which he wore over the vest)


Galadrial from "The Lord of the Rings" (as described in the BOOK!)
I made this one for a friend of mine. It had a full gold lamee (I don't think I spelled that right, it's pronounced La-may) under-dress with a tight under-sleeve, and a loser "trumpet" sleeve over that in the green lace. Then there's a white lace over-dress with a small lace rosette in the center of the neckline. It has a bit of a train too. She wore it for our Biblo/Fordo birthday party event with a golden hair Galadrial wig. She looked great. :) Unfortunately I have no photos from that even. ;)

Psa 45:13 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.

I love wearing gold fabric! ;) (or any other kind of pretty fabric for that matter...satin...silk...velvet...lamee...you get the idea.) ;)
