Influences

 Alot of the influences towards my final designs of Estella came from researching into different Victorian looks and looking at real images and portraits at the time of the Victorian era. This helped me to gain correct knowledge of styling and looks at the time and also great photographic evidence. For Estella look I looked mainly at Wealthy Victorian woman as I knew this was Estella's background. When looking at wealthy Victorian woman I mainly looked at woman of a younger age as my Estella was not going to be an older lady but set within her late teen and there were also differences in looks between younger ages and older ages I had to consider. Within the Victorian times there were alot of differences between wealthy, middle class and poor people and this is why I had to research into the differences between them to make sure I had my Estella dressed and looking within the right social class. while looking at the photographs i was able to look at the different mannerisms that woman had within photos how they posed and if they smiled and looked happy or not to determine how I could pose my Estella also.
