Artist's Comments

Hail the awesomeness of the new iPhoto and the framing effects.

Me in my Jane Bennet costume. I love the dress and my short hair, though I doubt any but a very adventurous woman in Regency England could have pulled off such hair :)

I needed an id. I am unfortunately not wearing any of my jewelry in this picture; but the dress was entirely made by me.

Actually, there was a fashion/fad for short hair during the regency period. It worked well if the hair was nice and curly. It was a flow on from their obsession with roman and greek society and coincided with the fashion for 'empire' style dresses.
Here's some examples [link]

Come to think of it, that's probably why they went so crazy over hats/bonnets during that period ;P

Thanks for the link :) I'd read on another site about the headband/scarves, but also that short hair was uncommon. I thought it worked very well with the style and classical influence; nice to see some evidence that the style existed!
