If you are practically hair-less like me, a quick and easy head-wrap is the perfect way to finish off a Regency gown, day or evening, and hide your lack-of-hair.
Here's a quick video showing how to do it. This can be done with any standard-sized scarf. The one in the video was done with a silk scarf; the one in the photo below with a basic rayon scarf. My only warning is to avoid really huge scarves or shawls, as they can be a lot to handle.
Practice, be creative and experiment, and have a fun weekend :-)

ReplyDeleteyou. rule.
Lauren, I stole this video and posted it on my turban page. I hope that's okay. :) I will post a link to your blogpage. I also wanted to ask if you would be willing to do a post about Regency shoes for the Oregon Regency Society blog?

Thank you everyone. :-)
ReplyDeleteORS, Yes, by all means re-post this! Also, I would be happy to do a post about regency shoes for your blog. E-mail me with details? lauren@american-duchess.com
This is most welcome! I have short hair as well these days for modern convenience but I want to do more Regency so your efforts on this are wonderfully appreciated. Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteVery neat - thank you for sharing :-) I usually work with two scarves, and the result is different each time, so I gladly try your variation :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely! These tutorials are so helpful, and this is a beautiful variation. For those that have a hard time wrapping, there are 2 piece turbans with a hat & matching scarf called Titillating Turbans that are very easy.
