Anna's design is pretty fiddly with a lot of plaiting and little details. Extremely Elizabethan and traditional I think her design is, she's included padding also in to the crown of the head.
As you can see the hair is extremely full and detailed. For me at the start when Anna gave me her design I was worried; a French plait centres the head, the dreaded French plait that I wasn't exactly great at. On each side of the plait is fishtails that are also worked into the head.
Anna's design has slightly changed since she originally showed me at the start of the project, before deciding to change on each side of the French plait were actually two fish tail plaits and there wasn't any curls around the face which Anna has only just changed. I believe these changes look much better for the design as before it might of looked so much with plaiting, padding, crimping, curling and a bun at the back.
From practicing at home and having help from tutors the dreaded French Plait is much less un-desired, I've found an easier technique in which working in straight sections using my finger as a guide is much easier and also looks a lot straighter.
