Damn, damn, damn! 

I ran out of the stuff, Merlin!!! 

[Manwariel]

I made a gown inspired by the Elves in The Lord of the Rings:









I also made the headpiece



and the sash is a table runner I bought on eBay for about $2.80. There are a couple more photos on my DeviantArt.

Fabulous, Manwariel! Lovely photos, as always! If you would ever be interested in modeling for me (I am an artist) let me know.

Lady Kathleen, unless you treated my new ensemble with new and improved Wench Off, I may find myself in trouble! Lord Dragon, I may require your services as a bodyguard. I'll even spring for an ale or two...

Done. 


And yes that is one fine gown, Manwariel.   

[DonaCatalina]

Wow, Manwariel that gown is a real show stopper.

[Adriana Rose]

[Lady Isabella]

Manwariel,  You look sooooooo beautiful! The photography is also beautiful!

[Manwariel]

Thanks all!

Adriana, I used Simplicity 4940 but changed the yoke and the sleeves a bit. The fabric was a great find, purchased at Wal-Mart for $1.50 a yard (a year ago. I've had the idea for a while). The texture looks just like silk dupioni, but I don't know what the content is. I used the opposite side out for the yoke. I lined the sleeves with leftover fabric from a previous project. I wasn't planning on the slits in the sleeves, but I didn't think through lining them very well and didn't do it the way I intended, but instead of re-doing it I just went with it and put a jewelry toggle clasp at the bottom of each to hold them closed.

[Lady Neysa]

WOW!!!  These are breathtaking!  I really like how the red tree makes the colors stand out.

[operafantomet]

I second the others, absolutely gorgeous both in outfit, in settings and it looks!

[iain robb]

Absolutely lovely. The dress is a wonderful combination of colors and textures.

[Lady Neysa]

I know I already commented, but I can't stop going back and looking at these photos!  Sooo beautiful!
