Hi Cin,

One place that might not seem obvious but you might want to try some 
of the CosPlay wig sites, or sites I found while looking for CosPlay 
stuff.  Some of their wig fibers are quite high quality and are meant 
to be dyed.  Others make custom wigs, and generally you never know 
what you will find.  You can easily luck out.  I managed to find a 
really decent looking 18th c. looking women's one - much better than 
any of the regular sites on one, for example.  Here are a few that 
I've found.  Keep in mind I've never purchased anything from any of 
them so can't vouch for any of them personally:


http://www.pettingzoowigs.com/wigs.html
http://www.mhrw.com/catalog.html  - this one has the wig lace
http://www.wilshirewigs.com/
http://www.wigsunlimited.com/wigsupplies.html
http://www.makeup-fx.com/Perukeng.html - wigmaking - including beard/mustache
http://www.alconeco.com/Products/Character/Wig-Making-Supplies
http://fashion-beauty.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGYStore_Code=HICategory_Code=WMSZ

I hope these help! :-)

Cheers,
Danielle

One of the other costumers has handed me some wig crepe  given some
very general instructions.  Here I am, begging for further
instruction... even a website or video tutorial.

Oooh, thanks Danielle,
I really liked the vids on the Peruke Makerei site  and will look at
some of the others, too.
