Arwen
ARWEN — CANONICAL BUILD
Overview
Arwen is Elven silhouette work: floor-sweeping gowns with dramatic hanging sleeves, soft draping velvet and chiffon, and almost no hard structure. The three canonical looks are the lavender/pale-blue "Chase" riding dress, the deep green velvet coronation gown with gold arch embroidery on the bodice, and the burgundy/blue "mourning" (Requiem) gown. Waist-length dark brown wavy hair with fine braids at the temples and the silver Evenstar pendant finish every version.
