How to EDWARDIAN 'Psyche knot' Hair Tutorial - Fitfully Vintage

** Please expand this box **

This is a hairstyle commonly worn in the late Edwardian period. I found these authentic instructions from 1911 online

I think it is a really feminine and romantic looking hairstyle and with a bit of tweaking there is no reason why it wouldn't be perfectly acceptable to wear it today. Especially with the revival of all things of this era thanks to the popularity of Downton Abbey!

Fancy dress or everyday I think this is a real head turner. I love it. It's so simple too and can be decorated with loads of different types of accessories. I had to make do with this small silky rose because my daughter hordes all my hair flowers, a bigger one would have been better. Also, online you can get some nice tortoiseshell style clips and pins which really were the height of elegance and fashion at the time.
