I would really love to see someone do some how-to videos, or at least a good gallery of the exquisite hairstyles in some of the period pieces. Emma Thompson's hairstyles as Elinor in Sense and Sensibility, for instance, or Anna Maxwell Martin's beautiful wedding hairdo as Esther in Bleak House. How about it? The Enchanted Serenity blog does such a gorgeous job portraying the clothing; I can't imagine anyone better to tackle the hairstyles, and the timing is right with the slightly tousled romantic hairstyles making it into lifestyle and fashion magazines. I would copy either of the above-mentioned hairstyles in a heartbeat, if I could just figure out how they were done!
ReplyDeleteI don't think she's done Elinor's hairstyle specifically but there's a lady on Youtube who demonstrates various hairstyles including some regency ones... you could check her out!

Thanks for the link and introduction to torrinpaige's channel. She hasn't done those styles specifically, but I love her victorian and regency styles. I think it would be possible to copy Martin's Bleak House wedding hairstyle using the techniques from her videos.

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I have stumbled on that blog before! Yet another case where I'm envious of those who actually sew gorgeous period costumes with such attention to detail while I remain an observer!
