Arwen's Blood Red/Dying Dress


Picture courtesy of The One ring.net
This dress is in The Return of the King. It has been seen in lots of promotion stuff, and is in the scene where Arwen tells Elrond to give Aragorn the sword of the king and loses her immortality. I just thought it was beautiful and I love the trim.

Fabric
I found the perfect trim for this dress at Hobby Lobby and a paisley moleskin for the sleeves I found at Walmart. For the jumper I used this fabric and for the lower sleeves I used some red velvet from Denverfabrics.com.

Patterns
To save on cost and time I make the dress as one, and used McCall 4491 for it; I jsut changed the neckline slightly.

You can read my pattern review of this pattern here.

Dress
Here are some quick shots my sister and I took of my completed BR dress. I will take better ones soon.
