Phil commented on my first concept that the woman looked like a pirate, looking back at it I can understand why. The shape of the hat was too bulky and the gloves were too big, I just need to refine the silhouette to make it look feminine and Victorian.
To start, I have been looking at shapes and styles of Victorian hats from images and blocking out some silhouettes, I personally like 6, 7, 8 and 11 but it would be good for other opinions :).

ReplyDeleteI like the high-collar of No 6 - and the face shape - it's just very, immediately 'Victorian'... Have you looked at cameo jewellery for some further inspiration?
