"The additional pick-up scenes we filmed allowed me to design some wonderful new costumes for Arwen, in much richer colours than we had seen her wearing in the first film. As with some of the first film's designs, I used light silks and dark colours - the latter suiting both the Rivendell Elf look and Liv's own colouring. Some of the designs here are for outfits that Arwen wears in visions of her as Aragorn's queen. [...]"

-Ngila Dickson, costume designer, in "The art of The Two Towers"

Unidentified dresses/ Concepts only

 

This was the first version of the riding outfit (didn't get approved).

These two were maybe early concepts for the Dream Gown?

Someone suggested the right costume was actually the underdress of the Rose Gown, but I don't think so. The Rose Gown's underdress has tight, wrist-length sleeves...
