Hairstyle Description: This hairstyle is a "holdover." Most women wore their hair up after 1872. Her bangs are parted down the middle and curled. The top of her hair is curled and secured with a ribbon. The remainder of her hair is allowed to flow freely.

Costume Description: Her bodice style really leans a bit more toward 1875 with the style of the collar and more fitted sleeve. She is wearing the fashionable large cross of the time, as well as a large pocket watch, that doesn't quite fit into her watch pocket. The bodice still shows the short waisted look of the early bustle era though.
