And the downward triangles too -- I think that design would be really elvish. Thranduil's BOTFA armor has some designs of that sort, and I thought it'd be neat to borrow some elements from his costume, since both Thrandy and Tauriel are Mirkwood elves and such. Oh! And the color, yesss I really want to do grey or silver. Maybe with a very slight hint of green. Almost a sea grey. (Good luck finding that, I know xD) And a drawing would be lovely, actually! I'd love to see some of your ideas on paper. :DBeth P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12434361880761562408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324416472954218415.post-84794416080676765132014-08-11T21:08:45.070-04:002014-08-11T21:08:45.070-04:00No luck in the picture search so far, but basicall...No luck in the picture search so far, but basically what I'm envisioning is a dress, mostly fabric (dark grey perhaps) with tiny chinks of the chain mail sticking out. Say the dress got ripped. That's where the chain mail would basically show up in bits and pieces. As if a whole nother costume (made entirely of the chain mail) was under neath the fabric dress. Did that help? :P Also I was thinking it would be cool if they appeared in tiny downward triangles -one along each shoulder blade (with or without the pads). Lol, idk if I'm really even getting anywhere; maybe I'll just resort to drawing a pic :PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062592250011412126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324416472954218415.post-84573927904588304262014-08-11T21:01:18.185-04:002014-08-11T21:01:18.185-04:00Looking for reference photos right now :) Also, ho...Looking for reference photos right now :) Also, how do you think you'll wear your hair?

Great minds think alike.. ;D And thanks! ;)<br />Yesss definitely, about the length. That's exactly what I'm trying to keep in mind in the making of this costume -- keeping a good balance between functionality and "prettiness," if you know what I mean. :)Beth P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12434361880761562408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324416472954218415.post-59752894001795553912014-08-11T20:45:08.883-04:002014-08-11T20:45:08.883-04:00Oh!

As it is now, though, I'm kind of leaning away from the drapey elvish sleeves, as I think they'd be kinda hard to fight in. xDBeth P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12434361880761562408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324416472954218415.post-9115083831006988692014-08-11T20:43:22.751-04:002014-08-11T20:43:22.751-04:00Awh, thanks, Maggie!

Nothing that would get in your way while trying to slay orcs. ;)<br />Okay -- now, wait, help me envision your chainmail idea. 'Cause it sounds awesome, I'm just trying to imagine it correctly. :D<br />Thanks again for all the kind words! :)Beth P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12434361880761562408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324416472954218415.post-12648183098126138492014-08-11T19:40:57.176-04:002014-08-11T19:40:57.176-04:00Thanks, Karis dear!!

I agree when you said that your favorite aspect so far is the chain mail on the shoulders :) As for capes, I always find myself falling into the Edna Mode "No Capes" rule, but if you decide to use one in the end, I'd definitely go with the behind the shoulders kind! Also, you were wondering where else to include chain mail... How about adding them where the darts would be in the dress/pattern if there are any? I'm not even sure if it's possible, but I'm imagining that now, and I think that would be really cool :) Anyways, great job so far; I'm super excited to see what else you come up with!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062592250011412126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324416472954218415.post-76562160187348968142014-08-08T18:15:32.587-04:002014-08-08T18:15:32.587-04:00I really love this idea!
