Description
I think I finally came up with a very fine name for her: Elodie.It goes well with either French or British settings, and it sounds very soft and delicate.
And I noticed I'm not very fond of the dressings from 1830
But the worst is the hair! I really can't stand those very strange up-dos, so I drew her with a rather "old-fashioned" hair-do from the very early 19th century - except maybe the comb.The dress is a little inspired by Cosette's in the Les Mis musical movie, I just couldn't think of a pattern looking not too stupid, so I left it blanc until I have a pretty one.
Summary of her story

depends on how easily they come in your mind. some characters are quite fixed the very first moment, others are changed so often, etc.
the troubles I had with Elodie were that I had no fitting name for her, but everything else

Ooh she's pretty 
I think the hairstyle you ended up choosing for her is pretty nice, and you drew her dress really well too (even if they both were something of a challenge to draw)

thank you
though, it wasn't hard to draw - the dress was really easy tbh - the thing being most difficult was the bonnet because I could not decide how she should hold it...
Finding good, historically accurate references's been harder

I really must add some patterns, otherwise these dresses are kinda boring to draw

It would take me an hour or more to draw one of them O.ò
(without getting a good result)

it's just a few lines and you're done since they don't have any special forms and stay on 'the basics'
Ok, no the hair was hell since I hate the actual hair-dos, but that'd been only 'cuz I had no idea. And the bonnet. The bonnet was really hard - though, all in all, 'tis been maybe 10-15 minutes..

Was the bonnet that hard? O.ò

I don't know, but I'm sure that's been the thing that took the most time I spend on this drawing
