La Mode illustrée, no. 30, 29 juillet 1900, Paris. Coiffure nouvelle et peignoir de coiffure. Jupon élégant en taffetas noir. Table de toilette. Ville de Paris / Bibliothèque Forney
Coiffure nouvelle et peignoir de coiffure.
Cette coiffure, pour jeune dame, convient à une chevelure ondulée de longueur moyenne.
On partage les cheveux d'une oreille à l'autre, on relève la partie de derrière, on la noue au moyen d'un ruban. On ondule les cheveux de devant en larges vagues, on les rattache aux cheveux de derrière, puis on dispose les extrèmités de tous les cheveux ainsi réunis en une touffe de boucles; on frise les cheveux en petites boucles sur les tempes, puis on fixe derrière, sous la touffe de boucles, un peigne en écaille blonde figurant un serpent (voir la gravure représentant la coiffure vue par derrière).
Le peignoir de coiffure en nansouk est fait avec de larges manches et un col rabattu bordés de volants brodés fixés sous un entre-deux ajouré; le col est garni de jours quadrillés.
Les devants sont disposés en petits plis; le dos est fait avec trois plis creux ayant chacun 3 centimètres de largeur et piqués l'un sur l'autre. Le contour inférieur est bordé d'un volant et l'on complète le peignoir en passant, sous le col rabattu, un ruban de couleur que l'on noue devant.

This hairstyle, for a young lady, is suitable for wavy hair of medium length.
We share the hair from one ear to the other, we raise the back part, we tie it with a ribbon. We wave the front hair in wide waves, we attach them to the back hair, then we arrange the ends of all the hair thus united in a tuft of curls; we curl the hair in small curls on the temples, then we fix behind, under the tuft of curls, a blond tortoiseshell comb representing a snake (see the engraving representing the hairstyle seen from behind).
The nansouk hairdressing robe is made with wide sleeves and a turn-down collar edged with embroidered flounces fixed under an openwork in-between; the collar is lined with squared days.
The fronts are arranged in small pleats; the back is made with three box pleats, each 3 centimeters wide and stitched one over the other. The lower contour is edged with a flounce and the bathrobe is completed by passing a colored ribbon under the turned-down collar that is tied in front.

Table de toilette.
Cette table de style moderne, construite en bois blanc, peut être établie sans trop de frais par un menuisier; on peint la table en blanc laqué avec de la couleur émail et les arabesques en bleu. On peut également la décorer en pyrogravure ou la peindre en couleurs laquées de tons divers.
La table est garnie d'un morceau de drap bleu clair, recouvert d'une plaque de cristal assez forte fixée par des vis de métal. Le devant et les deux côtés de la table sont garnis de rideaux en tulle brodé exécutés d'après les gravures No. 1. et No. 2, posés sur de la satinette ou bien sur de la soie légère bleu clair.
On coupe pour ces rideaux trois morceaux de tulle d'environ 75 centimètres de hauteur et 1 mètre de longueur et deux morceaux de la même hauteur mais ayant seulement 80 centimètres de longueur pour les rideaux du haut. On garnit le tulle avec la broderie, on borde le contour inférieur avec des festons en découpant l'étoffe qui dépasse, on exécute un ourlet le long des côtés; on pose les rideaux de tulle et les rideaux bleus sur la même coulisse. On fixe, au bord supérieur des anneaux de métal à travers lesquels on passe des cordelières en soie bleue, terminées par des glands; on fixe ces cordelières, en les croisant, sur les pieds de la table à l'aide de clous en bronze. On drape les rideaux en les retenant par des cordelières semblables.
La garniture de toilette se compose d'une glace avec cadre ciselé en vieil argent, de brosses, peignes, boîte à poudre, glace à main en ivoire et de flacons de cristal.

This modern style table, built in white wood, can be built by a carpenter without too much expense; the table is painted in white, lacquered with enamel color and the arabesques in blue. It can also be decorated with pyrography or painted in lacquered colors of various tones.
The table is lined with a piece of light blue cloth, covered with a rather strong crystal plate fixed by metal screws. The front and both sides of the table are lined with embroidered tulle curtains executed from engravings No. 1. and No. 2, placed on sateen or on light blue light silk.
We cut for these curtains three pieces of tulle about 75 centimeters high and 1 meter long and two pieces of the same height but only 80 centimeters long for the top curtains. We trim the tulle with embroidery, we border the lower contour with scallops by cutting out the protruding fabric, we run a hem along the sides; the tulle curtains and the blue curtains are placed on the same slide. Metal rings are attached to the upper edge through which blue silk cords are passed, ending in tassels; these cords are fixed, by crossing them, on the legs of the table with the help of bronze nails. The curtains are draped by holding them with similar cords.
The toilette set consists of a mirror with a chiseled frame in old silver, brushes, combs, powder box, hand mirror in ivory and crystal bottles.

Happy February everyone! <3
When Lifa (@withlovefromsimtown) released all those fabulous hairs 2 years ago (1), most of them immediately went into my "to do" folder to eventually add them to my own game. Including this one. Two years later, I have finally gotten around to slightly tweaking the shading so it blends in with the other hairs I've recolored. ;;;;>_<
This recolor uses Lifa's textures and comes in Remi’s naturals, my usual variety of unnaturals (2), and selection of naturals (3), and is sorted with the other medium-length hairs I’ve recolored.
Female colors packaged individually: http://simfil.es/4418377/
Female fewer files (4): http://simfil.es/4418378/
Male colors packaged individually: http://simfil.es/4418379/
Male fewer files (4): http://simfil.es/4418380/
Both “colors packaged individually” and “fewer files” versions include all the same hairs (just packaged slightly differently) and come with base, color swatch, mesh, and preview pictures included; choose only one. I own nothing so you can’t sell it. :)

Thank you Lifa for all of the fantastic cc (including this one) that you've given us! <3
For the few of you that haven't checked out Lifa's Simblr yet... maybe make some room in your downloads folder. >.<

i just worry because i genuinely super love the story, and i worry about you ;v; i dont want my current favourite writer to feel pressured or upset, esp not if i say something a little tactless. i was a little worried with your upload speed, actually, cause i was concerned you might be pushing yourself too hard. and then i remembered that i am a fellow chronic pain haver and ourgh the distraction of creation. but yippie yay <3 im glad it wasnt that mean!
The head of my faculty noticed that I was really unwell (he's like the one guy in my corner among a lot of teachers who are really hostile to students with chronic illness) and I got a pass to do the last few weeks of the semester from home, via remote assignments, so I have a lot of time to write right now. :D When my brain gets fed up with the assignments I swap to writing my fic for a bit or cuddle my cats.
Look at this, this is the face of someone who almost deleted 4k words of an essay by putting her dumb little leggy on the keyboard.
For extra bonus points I'm recovering my energy a lot faster than usual because I don't have to commute between classes.
I'm really glad you are enjoying the story and I'm touched by your concern. 💕 I'm riding a sudden windfall of good weather, chance to rest and my family being too busy with renovations to harass me, so I've had a sudden bout of creative energy. Not sure how long it will last, but I want to make the best of it while it's here :D
