TEST HAIR 

As part of my character development it it essential to experiment with different hair based on the classic styles worn by Victorian women. The hair was very extravagant, and like in the Elizabethan era big hair represented power and class. Upper class women would often wear there hair up in tight buns with structured curls pinned across their crown to add detail and texture. Flowers would also often to added to enhance the look. This would create a feminine and elegant style. 

QUEEN LOUISA OF THE BELGIANS 

This image is taken from a book demonstrates a popular Victorian hair style, much like the ones I created above. The textured hair contrasts strongly against her pale youthful skin. This is an important element I want to capture within my interpretation of Estella. Queen Louisa has lace material draped over the back of her bun, this is an elegant and sophisticated hair accessoryworn by the upper classes.
