This pattern was so simple to put together and turned out well. I’m sure that it is not historically accurate for any time period, but as a quick addition to a sci. fi. or fantasy outfit, this hit the spot.
Rated 4 out of 5

This is one of several patterns intended to replicate costumes from The Lord of the Rings. The four views in this pattern include Gandalf’s robe, the Ringwraith’s and Eowyn’s cloaks and a basic Ranger outfit. I used View B with the front sewn closed to make a passable faux Houppelande for my husband. This pattern may actually be a bit confusing for experienced sewers, since the mode of construction involves treating the front and back of the garment, each as a unit instead of sewing the torso and setting the sleeves into an armscye. The instructions do work if you follow them and temporarily put aside what you know about more normal construction techniques.
