Hairstyle Description: This hairstyle is parted down the center front then pulled to the back and secured. The backside hair is allowed to flow freely.

Costume Description: A good example of a simple cotton print dressed up by adding simple but effective trim. The trim is self fabric ruffles at neck and wrist cut in a scalloped pattern and bound with contrasting bias. This dress shows the long shoulders still prevalent in this era, and the neckline is edged inside with a lace or sheer ruffle and accented with a ribbon jabot (tie).
