UUUgh, I really envy Supes going to that exhibition. Did they have any dresses there on exhibit? Did they allow you to make pictures? Gee, I wish I could see it.
I am slightly ashamed to admit this, but inspired by one of the fan webpages, I am knitting myself a jumper (pullover for Americans) similar to Arwen's coronation green dress. That is my amount of my geekiness about clothes.
Yes, sorry to gloat about being able to see this wonderful exhibition, but I feel I should answer your question. They certainly did have the costumes as worn by Eowyen, Arwen and Galadrielle. This included the jewelry, rings of power (Elrond's, Galadrielle's and the One Ring as commision for the movie) and weapons carried by the ladies. They also had many of the additional articles that appeared in scenes with the characters at various points in the films.
The dresses of Galadrielle and Arwen were particularly beautiful in their simplicity. Galadrielle's dress is very detailed, but it didn't strike me as overly ornate, which I very much appreciated. Arwen's dress appeared to be of natural fibres and had a homely feel about it despite also being asthetically appealing.
