Arwen, Elven PrincessArwen’s role has been expanded though out Lord of the Rings. While she barely appears in the 1st book, Fellowship of the Ring, she has a couple of memorable scenes in Peter Jackson’s original movie. For the first movie, even with her limited screen time she has an amazing amount of costume changes. More dresses are in the extended version. The Two Towers continues Arwen's amazing costume changes, though we will have to wait for the extended version for some of the dresses. The Return of the King brings old classics. However, they are some of the most beautiful. Below you will find an intro study of what we know about her outfits, photos we were able to find on the web, comments from published pictures and some guesses for recreating them. Arwen's dresses are the most reproduced of any of the female costumes, check out Scrapbook to see our examples. Arwen's Index(most of the dresses are on a separate page to speed up the load time.)

JewelryEvenstarHead on over to the Things section for pics! CircletAlso see the Rivendell Farewell dress for more pics Note how delicate Arwen's circlet is. It's bits of chain that hook in the back. It's formed from a couple of pieces with jump rings between. Weta notes: Arwen's farewell tiara is just a last-minute thrown-together piece! They said they needed a tiara for her and shooting was about to start, so Jasmine took 5 existing pieces of her old jewelry and wired them together in an hour or two.
