Can anyone find...?

Question

Can anyone find good pictures of costumes/dresses from the mid to late 1800's?

I was just cast as "Nancy" in the musical "Oliver", so I am a prostitute, and need a w***e dress for my costume.

Also, hair ideas would be nice too!!! (I have shoulder length hair)

Answer 1

The period of "Oliver" is the 1830's. There are lots of fashion pictures here (click to enlarge):

Hairstyles too:

Nancy would wear a dirty, ragged, gaudy version of the fashions of her day. Like the pink one here:

It's a great role, have fun!
