The hairdo helps as well if you can manage it.

That style was back in fashion in 1961 - was a variation of the 'bee hive'.
I actually had my hair done that way for my first wedding.
It was easy to keep a tiara on between the two layers.

Yes, I was bridesmaid twice around that time and had that style, with the headdress round the gap in the middle. Only difference between then and 1912 was that in the early 60s my hair was fairly short so the fullness was achieved by backcombing rather than piling long hair up.

I can remember watching my mum back-combing her hair in the mirror when I was a little girl and then using loads of hairspray. She had a red wig for going out too and a turquoise sparkly trouser-suit (sequinned -very Cilla Black!):D

Even more so when she was getting the wig ready to use she used to brush it and back-comb that to -at times it looked like Ken Dodd's hairdo!:p

(I hope she doesn't read any of this or I'll be getting into trouble)

Think Rose on her day off, for a prim, neat hair style.

The year Lady Marjorie went down on the Titanic.

Not later, when she became a bit flapperish, and had a bobbed Eton crop.

Was Thinking Upstairs Downstairs or Downton Abbey or Mary Poppins
