Hey guys :)
I'm in the middle of putting up a play, that takes place in London in the Victorian time. Do you girls know anything about fashion at that time? Both in make-up, clothes and hair. Any advice?
My character is about 20-25 years old and works as a kind of secret agent for the queen.

In the victorian era, hair was always very long. But I believe it was put up for fancy occasions.

I almost forget, women of high status were always ghostly pale. That signified that they had enough money so they didn't have to work outside. Makeup was used but minimal. They basically rocked the "no makeup" makeup look.

@Laura nevermind then, One Act is a theatre competition for highschools in TX, and I was wondering if you were participating in it.
