I went to a party where we all dressed up as historical figures, so I (of course) went as Empress Sissi, the most beautiful woman of the 19th century, with knee-length hair. She had other distinguishing features - champion of the poor, defender of the Hungarian state, avid horsewoman, world traveler - but I chose her for the hair.
This is her most famous picture:

So what do you think? did I do her justice?

(I didn't wear a hoop skirt because my hoop skirt couldn't fit in the door, but Sissi's favorite style was actually more the bustle (https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTBK0Z1t_6D3iVmNuKIwy6vLRt-i9hKxx8YvYlxbb1XpQYQtGZ9PA)than the hoop skirt anyway, so I figured I'd go with that one)

Stunning! Did you make your dress? I can't imaging where you'd find a bustle in this day and age.

You look absolutely beautiful! :)
I also love Sissi. As a Hungarian I heard a lot about her and her legendary hair when I was a child. She has always been a huge inspiration for me because she had such a gorgeous mane. :crush:
