I researched into Victorian brides and pictures from weddings within the Victorian era. From doing this i was able to see how they styled themselves the kind of dresses they wore and also how they wore there hair and the accessories they had on there wedding day. I mostly looked at Victorian wedding dresses which a higher class lady would wear as Miss havisham was a higher class lady and would of had a beautiful dress for her wedding day that failed to happen. When looking at pictures of real woman from this time on there wedding day none of these woman smiled or looked happy which i found really strange but also interesting as to why. They all looked very proper and stern which is how i could imagine Miss Havisham being i feel i could link this in to my Miss Havishams mannerisms. After looking at wedding dress's I realised most woman in the Victorian era wore a veil when they got married this meant i had to consider possibly applying a veil to my Miss havisham and also designing her hairstyle around the veil so it had a place to sit on the head.
These are some images I found on the Internet relating to brides i thought they had a good link to Miss Havisham and her look, with there haunted and slightly scary/creepy look about them. These show another side I could go down and research further when creating Miss Havishams final look. I could make her scary and really ghostly like almost like a dead bride waiting for her long lost love instead of actually making her look alive and just tired etc. I Wouldn't make her look as horrible as the pictures below but i think these show a different side to Miss Havishams bridal side that i could go down and research possibly more for a specif audience of thrillers and for a more scary approach on the Charles Dickens tale.
