Lord of The Rings Arwen Custom American Girl Doll

Hello everyone, long time no see... 😅 At least we are back to posting! 😉 Today I am going to show all of you our very first custom doll!!

 I wanted to have an 18 inch Arwen doll but there were none! 😭 First to create this custom doll we needed a doll with light skin, beautiful blue eyes, and a long dark brown wig. It took a long time to gather all of those items to create this beautiful doll but it was worth it!   

I wanted my custom Arwen doll to have long flawless dark brown hair with a slight curl to it. Because as all LOTR fans should know, Elfs always have perfect and flawless hair! 😍😉 Now let me tell you where I got all the important parts to create this girl! 
  The custom details: 💎


Beautifully Custom is an online shop where you can buy a whole variety of wigs and she even has doll eyes! 💖 Her shop has the nicest doll wigs that I have seen. Beautifully Custom wigs are quite pricey but they sometimes have sales. 😉😊 This wig was absolutely beautiful and perfect to use to create Arwen from Lord of The Rings! 

Over all I think this custom doll turned out absolutely beautiful 😍 especially since she is our first custom doll! Plus the Rainbow Lily Designs Blue Arwen dress seems like it was made just for her!! 💜 If you haven't read my review on the gorgeous blue dress that is on Arwen go check it out Here!💞  

Arwen's wig is so pretty and since it is so thick you have more freedom to do fancy and bigger hairstyles. This wig was perfectly straight so I curled it although it was very difficult. You are supposed to be able to curl and heat it up to 350°F but I found out that it didn't work.😶 If you would like some instructions on how I curled her hair let me know. 

What do you all think of Arwen?! Let me know in the comments down below and thanks for reading! 😘

*REVIEW* LORD of the RINGS| ARWEN'S CORONATION DRESS for AMERICAN GIRL DOLLS| From ETSY SHOP: RAINBOW LILY DESIGNS

Today I have another beautifully made Arwen gown by Rainbow Lily Designs.
A reproduction of Lady Arwen's Coronation Gown from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King movie. Modeled by my beautiful doll Maryellen. ;) She insisted on her being in this dress, since Saige was in the last one! ;D

Here is the actual dress made for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King movie. Isn't it just gorgeous?!! I'm a huge LOTR fan if you couldn't tell already! ;D

Rainbow Lily's Arwen dress is pretty close to the real one.

This is Arwen's dress that the doll's dress is based off of.  Arwen wears this dress when she finally reunites with Aragorn. This scene always makes me teary-eyed!

Aimee a.k.a. Rainbow Lily Designs did an absolutely amazing job on the trim! The sliver trim at the very top is such an elegant detail on this gown which is very similar to the actual Arwen gown worn in the movie. 

I found this image on Google of the actual Arwen gown from the movie. I kind of feel sorry for the poor seamstress who made this dress it must have taken days. Unfortunately the details of this lovely Arwen costume was barely shown in the movie.
I really love how the trim on this lovely dress frames Maryellen's face! Doesn't Maryellen look sweet in this Arwen gown?

Another detail that I really like about this dress is that the trim encircles the entire neckline and both sleeves. The dress also closes in the back with velcro.

Arwen's Coronation Gown is made from a pale green satin that is pretty close to the original color of the actual movie costume. The material of this gown is very full and flowing.

Both the sleeves of the gown have two fabrics the pale green satin and the white under sleeve. 

The sleeves can be folded up or gracefully hung down.

Here is some extra pictures I took. I just had to keep taking photos of this amazing Arwen gown!!

I honestly wish this dress was in my size!


Overall I give this Arwen costume 10 out of 10 stars! The pale green satin is very beautiful. I would have also loved to see it made with a light green velvet although light green velvet is probably very hard to find.

I hope you all enjoyed this review! I certainly enjoyed reviewing this amazing replica of Arwen's Coronation Dress from The Return of the King movie. Let me know down below in the comments what you thought of this wonderful dress!

*Review* Lord of the Rings| Arwen's Blue Dress for American Girl Dolls| From Etsy Shop: Rainbow Lily Designs


Today I have an absolutely stunning gown made by Rainbow Lily Designs to show all of you!! A reproduction of Lady Arwen's dress from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King movie.

This is Arwen's dress that the doll's dress is based off of. Arwen wears this dress when she travels out of Rivendell to go to the Gray Havens but she turns back when she sees a vision of her son. All you LOTR fans know what I'm talking about!
Okay now onto the review of this lovely gown!
Now you can order the dress with or without a mini version of Lady Arwen's Evenstar necklace. I ordered the necklace with mine isn't it gorgeous?!! ;D

A closer look at the Evenstar pendant on my beautiful model, Saige. I just love doll jewelry!💞💞💞💞

Here is a full view of her dress, it almost covers Saige's feet. Rainbow Lily's reproduction of Arwen's dress is very well made, and it looks very close to the real dress. The main part of this elegant dress is made of blue velvet.

The sleeves on this dress are made with a nice white sheer fabric. Both of the bottom of the sleeves have detailed stitches to prevent unraveling! Her sleeves can be folded over or just hang down below the Saige's waist.

I just love how Saige's blue eyes match with her gown! 💞 The neckline is also perfectly placed!

Beautiful sequin trim encircles the top of the neckline and the upper part of the sleeves. I love how elegant the sliver sequin trim goes exquisitely with the blue velvet and white sheer fabric in this garment. 

This is how her dress looks without her Evenstar pendant. I honestly like the dress better with Arwen's necklace!

Dressing Saige in this gown was simple enough but you must be careful getting the doll's hands through the sleeves because of the delicate nature of the sequin trim. Arwen's gown closes nicely with velcro in the back. You can also put this dress on a Pleasant Company doll and it is not tight!

I hope you all enjoyed this review! I certainly enjoyed reviewing this amazing replica of Arwen's Blue dress from the LOTR movies! Let me know down below in the comments what you thought of this wonderful dress! P.S. here is a little sneak peek of the next review, Arwen's Coronation dress. ;)

*Review* LOTR| Galadriel Dress for American Girl Dolls| From Etsy Shop: Rainbow Lily Designs

I got this gorgeous Galaderiel dress from Rainbow Lily Designs' Etsy shop. Check out her shop she has a lot of really adorable doll outfits there!!! :D
Here is a picture of Galadriel in the Lord of the Rings (LOTR) movie.

Rainbow Lily Designs' reproduction of Galadriel's dress is very close to the movie version. Modeling this beautiful outfit is my doll Caroline. Caroline looks absolutely stunning in this gown!!!  


The gown itself fits very well on Caroline, the gown would look lovely on any other doll.


This brooch is not just a cheap piece of plastic it's a metal type of material and is sewn on so well that you can barely even see that it is sewn on. The brooch adds a very majestic look to the dress.

The sleeves, sash, and bottom of Galadriel's dress touch the floor and trail behind.

Galadriel's dress closes in the back with velcro and has a cute little label that says Handmade with Love plus Rainbow Lily Designs' Etsy shop.

Love how the back of the gown trails behind Caroline!!

The sash is very elegant and also blends in with the dress very well.

The sleeves on this dress are made with a very nice lace which can be folded over or can just hang down.


I totally just adore this dress!!!! Please click the link and check out Rainbow Lily's Etsy shop  there are a lot of LOTR themed costumes for your dolls to wear!!

Galadriel resisting the temptation of the ring!! All you LOTR fans know what I'm talking about if you have seen the movie!! Please comment down below and let us know what you think of Galadriel's dress. Thanks for reading!! ;)
