  The Costumes: Ngila Dickson
When Dickson arrived in Wellington, six months before shooting was due to start, things were already well underway, she says.
Dickson used natural fabrics such as velvet, cotton, wool and linen so the costumes would wear incredibly well.
For their costumes, Dickson decided to first sketch the original kings and then added layer after layer of clothing based on their gradual decline.

 From Hobbits to Elves
For the film's two Elven leading ladies, Cate Blanchett and Liv Tyler, Dickson took their ethereal qualities to create an alluring race who are "the angels of the story," as Dickson puts it.
Dickson continues, "The Elves are tall, slender and elegant.
One of their main challenges was hair, which in The Fellowship of the Ring ranges from the belly-length beard of Gandalf to the thinning scraggles on the head of the Orcs to the flaxen locks of Galadriel.

If space designates your importance in the work environment (and, sad to say, it does) it quickly becomes clear that Dickson is the head honcho around here -- while every other nook and cranny of this vast waterfront warehouse is crammed with half-sewn leather jerkins and metal body armour, her workspace is spare and vast.
Since ChaCha's demise, Dickson's film career as a costume designer has moved meteorically -- from video clips and TV commercials through to feature films and her current post as the head designer and manager of 40 staff for the Xena/Hercules series.
Dickson, of course, was in there doing her 24-hour days, "the whole thing was run on a shoestring, but we worked so hard to make it look anything but.

Dickson, costume designer for the mammoth traveling circus known as Lord of the Rings, checks the warriors from head to toe.
Their ragged clothing is a mass of strips--Irish linen, cotton, silk, muslin--all dyed in rich reds, browns and terracottas, then aged, ripped and layered (no Armani for this crowd).
Stylishly arrayed in fl (and a surprisingly sexy green smock), Ngila is down-to-earth, no-nonsense and dry-witted--all attributes that serve her well on this massive undertaking.

Dickson said, "were the the most complex costumes to design, since Tolkien rarely referred to their garb in his text." A case in point is Galadriel, the oldest of all the elves remaining in Middle Earth.
Dickson strives for period flavor through a palette that varies from deep blue and sepia to the ivory and claret a medieval aristocrat might have deemed elegant.

 CNN.com - Designs on an Oscar - Feb. 26, 2004
A few years ago, Ngila Dickson's main claim to fame stateside was designing costumes for the cult TV series, "Xena: Warrior Princess." But today, she has the inside track on Hollywood immortality, with two Oscar nominations in a single category.
Dickson will vie with herself and three others for this year's Academy Award in costume design, having been nominated for her work on both "The Last Samurai" and "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King."
Sifting through hundreds of historical images, Dickson worked for 14 months with an 80-person team to create more than 2,000 costumes that properly represented the attire of commoners, nobility and soldiers in 19th-century Japan.

"From there," says Ngila, "we took that slightly tomboyish, feisty young thing to the full weight of royalty at the funeral for her cousin Theodred, clothing her in layer upon layer of rich, regal fabric.
Quite simply, Ngila transformed me. She spent a long time perfecting necklines and sleev lengths, every possible detail, to get it exactly right for me. It was really in the wardrobe and the swordfighting classes that I began to seem in a very physical sense, who this woman was."
Ngila's use of natural fabrics (wool, burlaps, velvets and brocades) suggested warmth, earthiness and royalty as well as a sense of imprisonment--a woman bound and trapped by duty.

Dickson achieved this by highlighting their pastoral nature.
For the film's female characters, Dickson went for a new ethereal esthetic.
No matter the costume, it was essential that every robe, wig, and boot in the film be maximally durable — especially given the fact that actors were scrambling over cliffs, slogging through streams, crawling underground, and heaving swords at one another.
