Modern twist on Victorian dress
I made the crop top rest on the shoulder because this was a popular look in the Victorian era with cleavage showing. However I made it a crop to give a modern twist to it as crop tops are in fashion now. I also added a crown and necklace both with crosses on to show how Victorians were very religious also the crown represents Queen Victoria as she was a fashion role model in her day 1890-1901. However I took inspiration for the hair from our current Queen Elizabeth to again make it modern. I made the lips smaller and wanted the makeup to reflect the Japanese influence on the Victorian fashion also the flowers also took inspiration from Japan .
Victorian Design
Victorian design With this design I wanted it to be simple but womanly at the same time unfortunately not all detail shows up on the photo though. Again I gave Japanease inspired makeup, I wanted this look to be something the Victorian lady could wear to the races with the hat and gloves. I didn't want to go overboard with frills because I think it would overpower the dress.

Victorians took inspiration in there clothes and makeup from japan as you Can see in this photo Whith the small lips and bright cheeks |
This is a modern twist on the Victrian classic with lots of lace and material for the skirt and a tight corset this also has links to the victorian mourning dress after the death of a family member. |
Victorian shoes were comfortable for the women as she would be standing most of the day because you couldnt sit in the large dresses they also had lots of detail as did the rest of the outfit. |

U.S.A nails
Try different styles with your nails this look obviously was inspired by the American flag and the glitz and glam of the amazing U.S.A
THINK PINK
I noticed pink and purple hair appearing on the runway and a new street style so i tried it my self! I love the colour it gives a very modern, fun, look. The hair is bubble gum pink into a dark berry purple. If you don't want to dye you actual hair there are products out there such as Kevin Murphy Colour bug which a sort of eye shadow for your hair so try it out. BE DARING.
