My First Post (Hair)

I finally have made a blog. I've been wanting to for a while but just got around to it. I have very little clue as to what I'm doing, so bear with me. I recently co-hosted a tea for our friends, so I thought I would show you how I did my hair. The second dress I ever made was an 1880s bustle dress. Now that I've researched that period more I realize it may not be the most historical, but it's fun to wear, so I don't really care. Plus it's just nice to have a modest dress made in a style and in colors that I like. :) Pictures!

First off, my dress:

I really need a petticoat or three...someday!

And then my hair. I had put it into bandana curls the night before. It's a bit uncomfortable to sleep on, until you learn how to lie on it, but the curls totally make up for it. I had four curls (from four bandanas) when I took the bandanas out, so I took the back two and put them into a high pony tail at the back of my head. I took the other two and draped them over the hair band, pinning them in place with a few bobbie pins. I like how it turned out. Lots of draping curls.

The color of my dress is more correct in the two hair pictures. It's a deep forest green. The bustle/accents is the same green with lime-ish green leaves and mauve flowers on it.

Now just to figure out how to post this...
