The Hobbit

---

I’ve wanted to make her for a while, and a friend’s Lord of the Rings themed birthday party was the perfect excuse. Which also meant no 10ft. train at a crowded house party.

I probably spent way too much time over analyzing the exact color of her dress because it comes out a very light silver-gray in behind the scenes captures, but appears much darker in the film after treated with post-processing. I felt captivated by how ethereal it looked on Cate Blanchett in behind-the-scenes and promotional stills for the production book, so I went with that version, motivated partially by the moving story of how they attained the effervescent wig she wore for both LotR trilogy and Hobbit films. Accessories purchased on Amazon, wig styled by me, dress made using Simplicity pattern 1551.
