My wife has done 2 costumes for LOTR for a friend. One was a Nazgul. The other was Erowyn ( sp ) riding costume, with the crapload of embroidery. I will ask her if she has any pics around.

There are a few. Why, if I may ask?
Image and yes, they are both me.

Thanks for the replies!

The reason I ask is because we have discussed the Cantina at CYPHAN (a ballroom in the hotel that will be decorated like a space bar) and realized that this leaves all the fantasy costumers out in the cold. We have decided to set up a SECOND bar and have it set up ala the "Prancing Pony" from LOTR. Our resources are stretched pretty thin withthe cosnstruction of the Cantina, so we are hoping to find enthusiastic folks that will help create the Prancing Pony.

Yes... real alcohol in both! (non-alcoholic drinks too IN6951)

If you have any buddies you can refer me to or pass this on to the apropraite groups... I would be MOST grateful!

I do LOTR. I don't really have anywhere to go with the costumes, there isn't much opportunity to wear them, but it really is my main costuming interest.

My Eowyn Coronation gown took 7 months to embroider:

Dana, that gown is beautiful. I took a sewing class last year but I'm still not so good at it. I do want to get better since there are so many cool costumes out there.

Many thanks! This was actually my first costume, though I already knew how to sew when I began it. I now have an entire closet full of lovely costumes, but this is still my favorite!

That is deffintly a nice dress! :D I wish I knew how to do stuff like that. :cry: (Instead of sewing, the Theater taught me how to paint boats. I never went back after that. :? )
