Recreating Marie Antoinette's 'Ship Hairdo' (with a pirate-y twist)

AHOY!
I have always wanted to recreate this, and boy I am SO GLAD I DID and I will not apologize for how many pirate/ship puns ensued.
I did my best to recreate this French trend, made memorable by Marie Antoinette, but put my own little twist on it :)

Some guy: I built a boat in a bottle from a kit! Rachel: I built an undead pirate boat from scratch and put ut on my HEAD.

[@draughtoflethe]

If you're looking for a name for the ship, I'd go with "The Headless Queen" -- it's both macabre and historically accurate!

[@PumpkinHausProd]

Cut the skull off the skeleton for that finishing touch

Probably Marks Antoinnette. She lost her head too. Big later, but just as effective to get rid of ,sadly, unwanted Queens😁

[@emilyrln]

@@CaptainAMAZINGGG a lot of metallic thread is made of a thin foiled plasticky strip twined around a fine fiber core, and the foil likes to bunch up and stretch out and break, especially depending on how you sew with it, since the stitching motion rotates the thread and can loosen the twist, making it even more unwieldy.

This style would work best with a wig so you could glue it down. Would be an epic costume for a convention! Would love to see it with a wig so you could make the little rolling “waves” under the ship with hair like the picture.

When my great grandpa fled germany he basically robbes his own museaum and had shit from it just casually around until the day he died including: 6 literally priceless paintings now hidden technically lost, 5 antique rare slide tables 1 broke beyond recovery, 3 jade buddahs from the museaum, 3 ornate antique vases, and other hidden treasures Now He was also obsessed with the sea He had model ships and lighthouses everywhere, hell he caught wind of a lighthouse being torn down and BOUGHT a support beam from it to be a support beam of the house i now live in His favorite and mine of it all Was a simple black white and cream boat model. I still have it and i hold it quite dear. I maintain it, and keep it in good condition. For me, of all the hidden wonders from lost priceless paintings to antique pharmaceuticals, that boat is the only thing truely valuable in this deeply haunted house. And my great grandmother's painting. My mom took it down and hid it years back and i want it back. It was one of my favorite parts of my miserable childhood. That painting isnt anything special, but its important like the boat

Was anyone else shook when the curls came out so good??

[@kstreet]

Nope, cause curling irons are good for making curls. It's what they do. I realize some people have straight or thin hair that won't maintain a curl, but I have hair similar to hers that can hold a heat-styled spiral curl for days (unless it's very humid, in which case it turns into a frizzy nest).

This was so much fun to watch!!!!! You have so much patience to create such intricate pieces and hand paint them!!! I love Marie Antoinette fashion, Rococo era, 20s flapper, Edwardian, Georgian, and of course Regency aka Jane Austen style. I also really like medieval renaissance type clothes as well with flowing bell cascading sleeves ala Arwen style. I wonder if you had any intrest doing like an accessories through the eras that women would have worn or carried. Like, cameos, lockets, ribbons, jewelry and other accessories. That could be fun to see.

[@brittanywetherill472]

You're always like "hopefully this works" in a lowkey derogatory way, like you're apologizing for never planning things ahead of time BUT- the fact that you can look at something like a dress, or a model ship, or a hairstyle, and just come up with a basic way to recreate it your way with the materials you have, and then proceed to improvise as need be as you go along, is super impressive all by itself. That mental process is a skill that takes time to develop and not everyone has. I know several people who just break down into tears if there's not step by step intructions, or if they struggle with one of those steps as they go along. You have mental ingenuity and a can do attitude that you should be really proud of! You make super cool things just because you want to! That is such an impressive thing to be able to do! What I'm saying is, there is value in never having a fully organized plan too. :)
