I just got back from The Other Side of the Mountains (Californialand), and my trip down to Gaskells Victorian Ball. It was an amazing evening, full of beautiful 1912 gowns that I will show you in tomorrow’s post.
I did my hair before I drove down. It survived the all-day journey decently well, all though the extra weight and at least a hundred bobby pins took their toll and caused some headache-y-ness.
Anywho, here’s the finished style. This was done by curling my real hair in front, then piling up a hair piece in back, in big rolls pinned into place. I used a stretchy bead bandeau I found at Sally Beauty Supply, as well as one those beaded double-comb thingies (like this one
).
