Princess Eilonwy, #1- Return to Caer Dallben- The High King

Ok, so the pictures are backwards... Well, you can probably live with it. I can, so you'll have to!:)

This is a dress I designed for Eilonwy from The Chronicles of Prydain, by Lloyd Alexander(he's an awesome author, by the way). She wears it when she returns to Caer Dallben in The High King. The topmost picture is the sketch I then transferred and painted(picture 2). The 3rd picture is just another painting of the same. The belt in the last picture is incorrect with the finalized design(picture 2).

Picture #2 reads:

The dress is white, both in accordance with the books, which mention Eilonwy wearing white, and o show the change in Eilonwy since The Book of Three. When Taran first met her, she was wearing a simple tunic of white; now returning as a young lady her dress is again white silk- but now in an elegant rich style.

Now, for specifics-The over dress is white silk, the underskirt, belt, and trim is deep blue silk with gold and red embroidery. She wears, as always her crescent moon necklace, & her fair folk ring. She has a (uncomfortable:) gold circlet on her hair, red stockings and T-strap leather shoes. There is gold cord laced at the neck and on her belt, which has metal caps at the end. On the end of the cording on her belt are two red beads.

I hope you've enjoyed reading. My inspiration for this design came from Butterick Pattern B4827
 and Lloyd Alexanders The Chronicles of Prydain.
