From my own point of view

I've occassionally made costumes that have to be aged and it's very scary at first. But with some costumes, especially something like Gandalf's robes, it's just a part of making the costume in my mind. A pure, fresh garment would just look wrong so you have to think of the aging as another step in the process. You embroider a garment and then sandpaper it down sometimes  . After all, the point of a costume is to blend into the movie and if you have to beat it half to death to achieve that then it's worth it to see it 'right' on screen. It's kind of like buying jeans with holes in them already...
I think Ngila was proud of how well her team managed to dirty up and destroy these costumes. It take talent and practice to get mud in just the right places.
P.S. Sorry, that's a little ramblier than usual...
