How To: Get Marie Antionette Hair

Regular readers know I'm an addict for movie costumes, esp. historical costumes. Hair, jewelry and makeup are all part of costuming too. Since the current Marie Antoinette trend is still going full-steam ahead in the US, here's a tutorial on how to get Marie Antoinette hair. Unlike some tutorials I've seen that skip steps or gloss over the nuts and bolts, this one is very doable and easy to understand. The French background song is a fun touch too :)

That would be a great costume! I bumped into a girl once who sewed her own marie antoinette-like dress out of vintage curtains. It was amazing!
