Šī brīnišķīgā jaunkundze ir amīšu ilustratora Č.Gibsona garadarps. Viņš savos zīmējumos attēloja idealizētas 19.gs beigu/ 20.gs sākuma sievietes.
Gibson Girls were tall, athletic, and poised, with upswept hair and practical yet feminine clothes. At work, they might wear a tailored dress with long sleeves and a high collar with a necktie; at a party, a low-cut flowing dress with no sleeves was stylish. Their figures were trained into a fashionable "S" shape by a new kind of corset (an undergarment used to support and shape the waist, hips, and bust), called the "health corset" because it allowed the spine to remain straight. The "S" shape, formed by tightly corseted waists between a large bosom and large hips, was exaggerated further by wearing many layers of slips and underclothes. There was a Gibson Man as well. The men's fashion featured trimmed mustaches and jackets with padded shoulders.
The most important distinguishing feature of the Gibson Girl was that she was capable and adventurous as well as beautiful. By 1900, there were over five million working women in the United States, and across the country, women wanted to imitate the image and style of the Gibson Girl. Many new developments helped them follow the fashion, such as mass-circulation magazines and mail-order catalogs. Newly invented home sewing machines and pattern catalogs also helped women reproduce the clothes they admired in Gibson's magazine drawings.
