Eowyn's Travel Coat Costume Detail

The pictured version of Eowyn's traveling coat was made from wool melton purchased from www.fabric.com and trimmed in fake fur. I used Simplicity 9891 and left off the yoke pieces, modified the sleeves and cut the bottom hem so it would rise in front. I really wish I had seen the high rez picture of her coat in time, but such is life – turns out my version isn't very close at all,  but it still looks pretty on my model!

The brooch is just a bit of old jewelry I had on hand.

I have made a second version of this coat, using a home dec fabric remnant found on sale at JoAnn’s.  The drape was nicer and lighter weight, for a client in Florida.

The actual coat in the movie was made of matelasse, a lovely patterned fabric with a vaguely floral design.
