| Gibson girls were elegant, active women in the early 1900's known for their upswept hair, huge hats and voluptuous figure. Charles Dana Gibson was an illustrator whose elegant, dignified Gibson Girl was shown leading a more active life golfing, swimming, boating and cycling. The S shaped corset forced the bosom forward and the hips backwards giving a voluptuous look. Drawstrings pulled tight on the corset created a tiny waist. The fancy gowns and hats were covered with lace, feathers and frou frou, while the shirtwaists and suits were plain for the new working girl. The hats during this period were the largest they have ever been. Use your imagination and have fun! |
