The bodice mock-up for Nazgul-girl's costume was almost perfect - just cutting up the armscyes a little for the sleeveless bodice, and making the neckline deeper in frotn to better match the inspiration. I ended up ordering dark blue ribbons for the bows - and I found her some sparkly dark blue shoes to match !

I ended up ordering online for the Troll. Got 3 meters of silk velvet for the cape for a steal. We went for a printed corduroy for the jacket. If time allows I will make velvet breeches to match. I have ordered a pattern with the fabric, to save my sanity. The boy chose pearl grey satin for linings, and I found a pair of reasonably priced black boots that will probably fit his sister a bit later int he year anyway.

I spent a bit more than I'd like on the costumes, but the kids will wear them at the fashion show again, so it seemed a little more justified.
