Deluxe Blue and Rust Arwen Dress Costume

Comments about Rubies Costume Company Deluxe Blue and Rust Arwen Dress Costume:

some stats about me: 5'5", 147 lbs, 30" waist, 37" bust, 39" at the widest part of my hip, 36" at the top of my hip. I wear a C cup. my arm is 10.75" at the light green lace on the sleeve.

fit snugly at the bust, loose elsewhere. the sleeves fit around my arm nicely, but it wouldn't accommodate comfortably an arm much bigger than mine. It got a little snug when i flexed my biceps. came to the floor, a few loose threads, but nothing major. fabric has a definite sheen, so if it's snug on areas you don't like to show, those areas will definitely be highlighted. the skirt doesn't have as much fabric as i would have hoped, so it doesn't recreate the drapery from the movie.

the biggest irregularity came at the neckline and where the sleeve connects to the bodice. the dress was not cut symmetrically, so the green lace inset continues on one side longer than the other. the sleeve connection asymmetry is not as noticeable till you stretch your arms out to the side and compare them both. I will fashion tape/pin the neckline until i can have it corrected by a seamstress.

all things considered, i like the dress. It's not the deep red color from in the movie, but it's nice, warm, comfortable, and modest. :)

I had to wear a costume that wasnt the typical sexy costume they have all the time.. i was wearing this trick or treating with my children..it covered evrything but it fit like a glove. i dressed it up with tiara, veil and loads of guady jewerly so it was perfect..
