] Oh! I love this hair thread you have going right now. I can't wait to see Robyn's pictures! I have similar hair(waistlength,thick, blond) and would love to be able to have an Emma-ish hairstyle.

] I found pictures in Victoria magazine May 1995 of Regency hairdo's. Actually, the article's about creating costumes from Jane Austen's time period. Enjoy!

Now there's a letter I meant to write to Victoria and never did...those aren't Austen styles at all. They're ten to fifteen years later--more sort of George Eliot styles. Why couldn't they have either made real Austen dresses, or used those dresses and employed somebody else's quotes instead?

That aside, they're pretty consistent for the time period they do show--and very pretty.
