One good resource is :wwwdickensfair.com Once there, go to : Get involved (in the bar on the right) Then: Participant Costume Guidelines There is a lot of info on costuming, a section for Thrift stores and Children (showing skirt lengths, for example, depending on the age of the child).
Also, if you Google "Victorian Childrens Hairstyles" and click Images, there are a lot of pictures there. What year specifically are you doing? There is a huge difference between early 1800's and late 1800's.

I asked for password and id. How do I get one to research costumes and hair of the 1800s Prairie of Texas and Oklahoma. My daughter is a child actor in the play "Texas" in Palo Duro Canyon. I am making her costumes. I want to find examples to go by and use patterns I already have. I have no idea about her hair. It is cut too short to do much with.
