I decided that I wanted my Miss Havisham character to look quite disheveled, yet still in keeping with early victorian styling. After looking at my initial hairstyle ideas i combined ideas from each to come out with this design.
I took the floral elements of my 2nd design idea and combined it with the traditional style of my first design idea. I liked how the body of hair at the front sat in front of the veil. Ive taken the original ringlets and make them much looser and a lot more disheveled looking through the use of backcombing (Ive also taken in to account my models extremely long hair). The floral aspect Ive decided to keep around the band of the veil itself, as i felt having them scattered through the hair looked a little too festival and nymph like for my taste when I tried it out below.
I actually have a floral headband in my wardrobe which I think could work very well in my design, rather than obtaining individual flowers and securing them to the base of a veil, I could attach some matieral to the headband. Obviously to fit in with the overall look of 'self neglect' i would need to make the flowers look as if they were withered and covered in dust.
