    Help with finger waves

    I haven't been able to get a good fingerwave on my own hair yet, so I always use the pincurl wave for a slightly fluffier look. Plus, the super crunchy hair doesn't really appeal to me that much.

    Another rush job ensemble - this one created in 5 days for an 1870s picnic I attended yesterday at the Banning Museum in Wilmington. It's made of white organdy & trimmed with lace edged ruffles of the same & silk ribbons. The parasol is also a new project - I recovered it in pink silk taffeta...
