My attempt at replicating Arwen's Coronation Gown, from The Return of the King (2003). I must mention here that if you need a Lord of the Rings costume study for reference, you should visit this site! Their Arwen Coronation Gown page was very, very helpful. The detail of their costume studies is amazing, and they have some good photos, too, especially of those costumes which didn't have much screen time.
The butterfly on the crown. I think it kinda looks more like a flower or a bow, though.
The sleeves were a bit disappointing. I didn't realise till later that they were supposed to be much longer/bigger.
The crown was a lot of fun to make! :) I hadn't done any beading in years, so it was also quite challenging. Unfortunately, I don't have any pattern for it. I just experimented.... I can give you a hint, though: copper wire is much easier to work with than silver.
