Developing Estella's Hairstyle

For Estella's hair I wanted something that was traditional in terms of the period in which the novel is set as well as something that accentuated her beauty and was also reminiscent of my porcelain doll concept. 

I then remembered a style I had previously looked at in my research in to victorian hairstyles.

In brief the episode features a flashback to the year 1864, having recently returned from exile to ENGLAND Katherine Pierce begins life again in Virginia. I consider this a victorian hairstyle due to the time period as well as her previous location in England. 

I think this hairstyle is quite relevant to my representation of Estella due to the fact that the time in which Dickens places Estella as a adolescent, hair trends had changed and the tight curls of the early era had loosened and often cascaded down the back. I also find other elements of the victorian traditions in this style including the ringlets and centre parting. 

I find this style quite reminiscent to that of a china doll as well, due to the vast amount of curls. Take for example this image.

From this research Ive practised and devised the following hairstyle to coincide with my make up look.
