This is my website and I have just removed it to be hosted on my new site :) http://www.arrayedindreams.com/girls-own-annuals/ Sadly people have taken the images and posted them to other sites without credit so thank you for linking back properly! The good news is I have unearthed my annuals and will be able to update more :) There is a wealth of information in the books and I'd like to record them for posterity :) As for Fedoras in this context, given it's the 1880s and the fringe (bangs) was a very new way of doing the hair, and Sarah B. has a fringe in her costume as Fedora I'd be inclined to think she means the curls of the fringe. Also at this time you could buy false fringes that meant women did not have to cut their hair given they were an on off fashion since :) And the false fringes tended to be very very frizzy. >> What you suggested are all definite possibilities.

Yep, Harper's Bazaar even has a how to on this for the very late 1860s or early 1870s. I've done it and you get super super crimped and frizzy hair!
