Galadriel LotR Cosplay

 

Geek Girl ÁLI looks gorgeous as Lady Galadriel, here's what she said about her cosplay...

"Galadriel is one of my favourite female characters. The strength and power she yields, all under grace, I find inspiring. Galadriel means so much to me that I wanted to make sure that every aspect of this costume was made with care so I took a couple months to make it. The 'bones' of the gown were taken from a pre-existing wedding dress that I found at a thrift shop. I liked the idea that once upon a time someone wore this dress on a very important day in her life, so I carried that feeling into my Galadriel costume. I took the pre-existing dress apart and redid the structure to suit the change in waistline and then added the leaf patterned lace on top of it. After the gown was done I hot fixed 4000+ rhinestones, following the leaf pattern on the lace and made the crown and brooch from worbla. I posted a detailed tutorial on the making of the costume on both my Facebook and Instagram page.

A month before I started my Galadriel costume I started to learn the Quenya text for Aï Laurie Lantar, also known as Galadriel's Lament - Tolkien's longest poem in Quenya. I knew that when I entered Galadriel into a Masquerade that I had to 'fully' be her, so I entered the first Pop Expo Masquerade and was lucky enough to win 'Best in Class'!"
