Regency hair for jennylafleur or anyone else

[chloeandrudy]

As requested by Miss Jenny; these are the hair pieces shown to us in class at Costume College that can be made to wear with Regency costumes, or maybe other eras. The instructor said she first saw one on Pride & Prejudice when the old lady died and someone said she didn't look right in her coffin with her "bald" old head. They placed a headband on

cool, thank you, i wish i'd been there for the class, do you have any photos of what it looks like on, and how you use it?

[chloeandrudy]

No I don't. The teacher was doing the 1940s era hairstyles but brought her other samples to show us.
This would be an excellent time to pull out your copy of the BBC Pride & Prejudice (with the hunk) and look for it. I think she was one of the old sisters that was hard of hearing.

which version? i don't remember any old sisters in the 1995 version with colin firth.

I'm going to have to think about this for awhile. Maybe it wasn't *this* movie but it was one of Austen's. I know it's not Emma. Not Sense & Sensibility. I may have to watch all my movies to find it. I Know it was a Regency one.

what hardship, HAVING to watch all of your jane austen movies!!

Finally found the answer to which movie; it was The Forsythe Saga. I can only remember the most recent one with Gina something.

Gina McKee i think, i know the one, i watched it when it was on the tv, and taped it, but i've never watched it again because i didn't like the story, it was too sad and horrid for my liking.

I thought it was very sad too. I actually liked the Masterpiece Theatre one done years ago with Susan Hampshire in it.
