LOTR Hobbit dress research

The following sketches and descriptions are based on the FOTR EE DVD and ROTK EE DVD. I have broken them up into outfits that were plain, everyday wear and those worn for special occasions. Descriptions are listed in a basic chronological order, so if you watch the EEs you should be able to follow the list. Links beside a description are for reference only, they don't indicate the shots the sketches and descriptions are based on. I have not covered every dress, though dresses I haven't done are basically ones from the background where there is nothing discernable other than colour.

Hobbit Hair



I was quite surprised to notice that Hobbit women, for the most part, have mullets! However the curliness of their hair tends to obscure this I think.

Older women tend to have their's twisted and pinned up, the other styles are usually worn by the younger women.
