Whilst doodling around the internet after a maker of tea gowns and household dress, i found this guide about Victorian-era living. Oh, and the book is totally available on ebay for cheap.
Buying it? Yes. yes I am.
Also I found this helpful article on hairstyles. <3 They have heaps more but I am yet to read them. Remember - having your hair hanging down is most unseemly for a young lady and is very very sexual. Or something. I'm not too sure where that idea came from. XD
:D
More resources found after original post that I can't be bothered to type sentences about:

More hair, specifically a bun.
Here's a great eveningwear article.
Makeup makeup makeup. Amazing article and wobsite, thanks Stefanie for posting it to me! <3
If you find anything useful, please facebook/tweet/email/comment it to me and i will post it up for everyone.
Much love!

Every fashion plate ive seen of ate victorian dress, the hair i eleborate, especially lots of plaits. They also seemed to LOVE frizzing hair using either ragcurling or with hot irons, which wrecked hair. But you'll see frizzed hair especially around the hairline inc the fringes.
