Elizabeth Swann is a fictional character in the Walt Disney Pictures' Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise. She appears in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) and its two sequels, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) and Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End (2007). She is portrayed by Keira Knightley, and in a flashback by Lucinda Dryzek. She is known to use the alias "Elizabeth Turner," but this later becomes her married name when she weds the character, Will Turner (played by Orlando Bloom).

Elizabeth is a spirited and independent-minded character. Throughout the three films, she transforms from a modest young lady into a courageous pirate. Elizabeth has always been fascinated by piracy and life at sea, but she is also revolted by pirates' aggressive, wild nature, especially when she meets Captain Jack Sparrow, who made his escape from Port Royal at her expense. However, she was grateful to him for saving her life and unsuccessfully attempted to prevent his arrest. Even after becoming a pirate, she retains her sense of propriety, as well as her loyalty and compassion for loved ones (namely Will Turner, her father, and later, Jack Sparrow).

Elizabeth Swann is the strong heroine of the three Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Decide on which Elizabeth Swann costume is best. For Elizabeth's swashbuckler look one needs a long-sleeved white shirt, a dark vest, dark pants, a tricorn hat and long boots or boot covers available at any costume shop. Elizabeth's wedding dress is a full gold gown from the colonial period. Watch the movie or look at photos to get the right look. Check out sewing patterns by Simplicity and McCall's for Colonial clothing and select fabrics and colors according to the costume. Look through closets at home or browse through thrift stores for clothing finds. Men's dress pants make excellent pirate pants. Elizabeth's oriental look may be a bit harder to make as it involves embroidery. Make a basic oriental pants and long jacket from a pattern in black and try painting the design on with fabric paint instead.

Select appropriate footwear according to the wardrobe. Try a pair of flat black Chinese-style Mary Janes to go with the oriental outfit. Boot toppers are available from lots of websites or any costume store for Elizabeth's Pirate look. Just put these on over any pair of dark shoes. If working from a sewing pattern, boot cover patterns sometimes are included. Fabric stores carry all sorts of faux leather that works well. Choose an elegant ivory colored two-inch heel to go along with Elizabeth's fancy dress, either from that you might have at home or again, from a thrift store.
