Civil War Era Ladies' Hair Styles - June 1863 Godey's Lady's Book


Civil War Era Ladies' Hair Styles - June 1863 Godey's Lady's Book

New Coiffures

Fig 1 - This coiffure is composed of puffed ribbon and bows mounted on a wire, with flowers at the side and a lace barbe looped behind and fastened with ornamental pins. The color of the ribbon should correspond with the dress with which it is worn, or should form a decided contrast.

Fig 2 - The hair is dressed with three rolls on each side of the face. The wreath is made very full in front, and has a gold cord and tassel trimmed in with it. It gradually diminishes in size towards the back, small buds forming pendants behind.
