I need pictures of victorian hairstyles to show DH - so he can do DD's hair for a dress-up day at school

[KatyMac]

Please

I'm not doing it DH is much better

But he has no idea about the styles etc

Where can I show him some?

central parting, in a low bun at nape of neck.

look for pics of queen victoria

HTH

Not really long enough for that

Also it's Afro so something with ringlets might be better

hair up (buns etc) was for grwon-ups only - twas a rite of passage at 18 to 'put up your hair' and become a young lady

if she is dressed in child's clothes (dress with white apron type) the easiest thing is a long plait down her back thus with a ribbon unless he is up to ringlets...

or you could do a half-ponytail liek Bobbie in that Railway Chi;ldren pic

if she has short or 'modern' looking hair stick a boater or a mob cap on the back of her head

victorian schoolgirls

KatyMac is your dd's school going to Great Cressingham nr Watton?

She is going to Gressenhall

He wants a bit more detail to copy

She has ringlets a lot - I was trying for low bunches of ringlets at the back - but it is too short

I have this nightmare too in a couple of weeks. Will watch thread.

She is wearing (I hope - because I am lazy & poor atm)

Black shirt - long sleeves with a bow/tie thingie at the neck - think low key maggie
Black Skirt - don't know yet - I haven't got one for her - any of mine will swamp her
Black/brown bib apron
Brown boots

Maybe??

At least you have put a bit of effort in. I gave up, my dd would never ever fit into a skirt of mine, but then I don't have anything suitable anyway. I have bought her an outfit from Ebay. It includes the mop cap (which she will probably refuse to wear)

What age?

she's wearing a mop?

I think you mean mob

(a mop would solve the hair issue though)

I could give her the pail to match as a handbag??

Yes my fingers were going faster than my brain. Mob, mob.

I haven't got the outfit yet, its says its suitable for ages 8-10 (dd is 10 but slim so I reckon it will be fine).

I can lend you it after the 23rd.

I have just googled mop cap and there are loads - obviously a common mistake

KM got to go.

Let me know if the dates match up for the outfit.

Thanks - we are trying on skirts as we speak - I will let you know if we can't work anything out

Still doesn't help with the hair
