Middle Earth Challenge, Day 9

Prettiest Dress

So, yesterday I said that one of the things I really admire about The Lord of the Rings films is the costumes. Today, I am supposed to post my favourite dress. This is actually easier than posting my favourite costume, because, hands down, I like Eowyn's clothes the best. She wears lovely, lovely things. I don't think she wears a single dress that I do not like. My favourite is still probably the simple brown jumper she wears during the journey to Helm's Deep. There is also a very fine riding gown that is almost my choice for prettiest dress. This is it here - see the golden embroidery? Love it:

The only problem with selecting that dress, is that she only wears it for a few scenes, and aside from the really gorgeous sleeves, you seldom get a really good look at the dress as a whole. So the dress that I think is the prettiest, it the one she wears to Theodred's funeral
