Costume represents the dress Arwen wore at Aragorn's coronation - and has also been referred to as her wedding dress. Green was the color chosen by LOTR director Peter Jackson "to represent new beginnings." To capture the elven ethereal quality, I layered three fabrics in the dress - the middle layer has silver threads that show thru the top sheer layer to create a slight shimmering effect. Neckline and sleeve decoration is a white with irredescent & pearl trim - it has been hand-beaded with pastel yellow beads and sequins. "Butterfly wing" headress features silver wire and beaded strands.
