Thank you so much for helping me in my search! How very kind!
I'll have to experiment with the whole thing. I think using a rat as an anchor to wrap around is probably a good start.
I think it is so odd that this Victorian style has so few tutorials on how to do it without a hair tie.... I'm pretty sure Victorian ladies didn't have access to hair ties.![]()
Hair is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

Hello!
I'm (very) slowly going through hairstyle of the month posts and attempting them. After months of trying here and there I finally managed to do something that kind of... sort of... looks like a gibson tuck.
Thank goodness for spin pins!
It's still a bit mess but I think with time and practice I might get better.![]()

I’ve been going through hairstyles of the month to discover new dos...and found an old favourite that I didn’t even know had a name! This has been my go-to “formal” hairstyle for ages...I just kinda made it up when I discovered the topsy-tail idea I used to use a piece of millinery wire to pull my hair through.
If the pics work, this is my version with a fancy hat I made. I tend to twist the sides of my hair before ponytailing and doing the endless topsytailing. I like the look, though it really emphasises how my hair has changed colour over the years.
And I can’t edit to fix the nonexistent pic...you can find it here if you’re interested:

Very nice, PeonyBlue!

Mod hat off. Mod hat on. Don't make me wear the mod hat, it messes up my hair. *grin*
