I'm planning to dress up as Éowyn(aka Dernhelm) for Halloween/RotK premiere and I'm looking for a chain mail top. Anybody know where you can get one (cheap)? Or, do you have any suggestions on how to make one for about $20 (american)? I know that in the movie they had 1000's of plastic rings strung together; I was planning on using metal ones so I wouldn't have to glue them shut. But I'm more than willing to listen to any ideas you might have.<BR>By the way, while we're on costuming, what type of shirts/pants/boots do the Rohirrim horsemen wear?
