Gibson Girl

A Gibson Girl is a term used to describe a fashionable and stylish woman from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. She was named after the American illustrator Charles Dana Gibson, who drew cartoons of women with long flowing hair, tiny waists, and big hats. The Gibson Girl was often portrayed as confident, independent, and graceful, and she became a role model for many young women at the time. She wore long, flowing dresses with high necklines, puffy sleeves, and full skirts. Her hair was usually worn up in a bun or piled on top of her head, and she often wore a wide-brimmed hat to complete the look. The Gibson Girl was known for her elegance and sophistication, and her style influenced fashion trends for many years to come.
