Here are listed links to costuming sites and product links that have been very helpful to me, and very fun to explore!
This is an extensive research site, with well over 700 pages devoted to LOTR costuming!
Ela's Costume Site...A beautiful site, showcasing Ela's great costumes and lots of good research and tips! My new costuming friend from Germany! I do look forward to meeting one day! :)
Maggie's Costume Site... Her site is filled with a vast amount of research and how-to's, along with pictures of her many wonderful costumes, primarily from Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. She helped me quite a bit! Thanks Maggie! :)

Julia's costume site was one of the first I'd ever found after falling in love with the LOTR costumes, back when I was trying to gather info. on how to get started making my own... Her Galadriel was very inspiring for me. She has many wonderful costumes from LOTR and Star Wars, and some great tutorials on fun foam, fabric paint embroidery, and template making... I love her armored costumes!
Alwyn's Costume Site... She has made a beautiful Shieldmaiden Dress, and it was her sketch in the photo section at ACS that helped me figure out how to draft the sleeves...
A fine fabrics manufacturer, selling exquisite silks of highest quality... with wonderful service, selling many unusual and hard-to-find specialty fabrics, silks and cottons of many kinds... I have used their fabrics in reconstructing my Green Gown...
Denisa's amazing doll recreations! From Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter and many other movies... She goes to great lengths of detailing, on such small scale... Simply fantastic... !
