Inspiration: Arwen's Mourning Dress from The Two Towers This outfit has been sitting in my computer for quite sometime and I figured I would finally release it. The Lord of the Rings trilogy offers an excellent opportunity for ideas for outfits, especially Arwen, who I think had the most extensive and beautiful wardrobe throughout all 3 movies.

This one is from the scene in the Two Towers were Arwen's father, Elrond, tries to make her understand the bitter reality of becoming mortal and shows her visions of Aragorn becoming old and dying. It's a sad, but touching scene, and I tried to recreate that as much as possible in the outfit. I love the Tale of Aragorn and Arwen. It's probably the simplest story-line in all of Middle-Earth, but very beautiful and enchanting - and sad. It's not quite on par with Beren and Luthien in terms of excitement, but it is still an example of how much Tolkien loved a good romance in his stories. Enjoy the outfit!
