•    1900-EDWARDIAN/GIBSON ERA   
King Edward VII reigned in England from 1901-1910. Edwardian is the name of that era although his influence took a back seat to the “GIBSON LOOK”.  The “Gibson Girl” personified a feminine ideal as created by Charles Gibson.  The youthful model was tall, slender, busty, s-curved torso, and hair piled up on top of her head and use of large hats.  The new health corset removed pressure from the abdomen and created s-curve silhouette which become the main stay for women.  The bodice has a high neckline, leg of mutton sleeves, pointer pigeon silhouette on front, and sloped waistline and the use of white for garden parties were the vogue. We have several original dresses in this time period that are in great condition or have been repaired professionally.  By the end of the decade, the gowns had a more conservative cut, with higher waists and slimmer figure.
