Estella; Hair Ornaments And Acessories

Victorians wore hair pieces mostly to hide hair loss caused by illness. Combs, ribbons, frontlets, feathers and flowers were worn as hair accessories. Mourning jewellery were most popular accessories, but pearl necklaces were worn, too.

Frontlets and ribbons were my favourte hair ornaments from the Victorian, and I had a perfect necklace that combined the two and could be used as decoration in the hair. I will place it around the bun, and tie a bow at the back. 

As jewellery, I will use a pearled necklace that matches the hair ornament nicely.
