I used the sleeves of this pattern to make Arwen’s Mouring Gown. I modified the sleeve pattern a lot to get the desired length and shape. I don’t like to draft patterns from scratch, but give me a pattern that’s halfway there, and I can tweak it to achieve the look I want. The sleeves and train are longer in the film costume, but I purposefully made mine shorter for practicality’s sake (also because I didn’t have a ton of fabric). The shape of the sleeves is a bit more full than mine too, but I don’t think they’re circles — more like the pointed shape I made mine in. All in all, my gown is very true to the original.
