| This beautiful dress first appeared in promotional images for The Two Towers and was almost
immediately dubbed the "Shieldmaiden" outfit. Unfortunately, it didn't make an appearance in TTT,
but we finally got to see it in Return of the King! Ngila Dickson, the costume designer
for the LOTR trilogy, has said that this outfit is meant to convey a "sense of [Eowyn] fighting in her
underwear." I think it does a good job of that, and it's very pretty besides!
I didn't make this dress for myself-- I made it for my best friend, Amy, whose favorite LOTR character
is Eowyn. After making my Arwen chase dress, I was eager to get my friends
to start dressing up as well. Amy liked the idea, so we looked at all of Eowyn's outfits, and she chose
this one. This was my second full recreation, and in some ways it was harder than the chase dress,
because there were only a few good images of the dress and no tutorial to help me.
