The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Character: Nouie Ninim, an elf from Imladris
Variant: Violet velvet gown
Debut: October 2006
Nouie Ninim is a fictive character. Character and gown are inspired by the elves in J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings”.
Dress
The dress is made of purple cotton velvet and is completely lined with a lilac and silver sari. It has a v-neck, bust darts and a waist seam. It has an invisible zipper in the back and additionally a lacing in the back.
The upper sleeves are tight-fitting. The lower sleeves are bell-shaped, the pattern is like a half circle. The whole sleeve is lined with the lilac sari.
The trim at the neckline and elbow is self-made. The base for this trim was also the lilac sari. It’s hand-embroidered with metal appliqués, little brooches and all in all more than 4.000 beads.
Girdle
The Y-shaped girdle is also made of the same lilac sari as used for lining the dress. It’s has some decorative brooches in the front. It’s closed in the back with a lacing.
Jewelry
In the meanwhile I have three different sets of jewelry for this dress. All of them are purple and silver and harmonize with the colors of the sari.
