Gibson Girl is an American beauty ideal from the 1890s and 1900s, built on pompadour hairstyles, S-bend corsets, and an idealized femininity, created by illustrator Charles Dana Gibson and defining how the turn of the century pictured beauty. High-collared blouses cover the tops. Puffed-sleeve bodices shape the shoulders. Long A-line skirts fall below, over cinched corset waists. Pompadour hair sits on top, with simple lace or ribbon accessories.
