Good patterns for elf-style dresses?
So, this year, I feel the need to make my own Halloween costume, and I'm thinking of doing an elf-princess type of dress - I'm thinking along the lines of Arwen's blue and red dress in the LOTR movies. But, I don't have a clue where to start for a suitable pattern, or even which companies make patterns in size 0-1 to begin with.
Also, any other ideas for Halloween costumes based in sci-fi and fantasy are welcome. I do have a CIA patch (yeah, don't ask) which might be fun to incorporate into a more action/adventurey costume (maybe using my old paintball camo/faux military stuff?), and I've already sewn Star Trek, Jedi Knight, and medieval princess costumes. Oh, and I obviously would want my costume to be from sci-fi/fantasy stuff I watch, by which I mean 'pretty much everything except BSG and Twilight'.

You can go to any place like micheals that sells sewing items and materials, They usually have sewing patterns any where from clothes - halloween costumes. Maybe nothing to the Extreme of lord of the rings but I'm sure they will have a princess costume and you can just slap some elf ears on.
Hope I could help :]

One word: GOODWILL. Just go to several different one's until you find a good costume. I found an New York designed medieval dress for $15 at one goodwill. And I found a bar tender/wench dress at another for a few dollars. Never know what you might find at goodwill!
goodwill also sells patterns galore. Otherwise search online and see what you can come up with. Good luck and have fun!!!
