Gibson Girl Wigs and Gay 90's Costume Wigs

Gibson Girl Wigs for characters of the 19th century. Gibson Girl Wigs were a popular advertising figure of the 1890's. Gibson Girl Wigs and her unforgettable smile were cultural icons. Gibson Girl Wigs with the stylish flair and elegance of the period. Gibson Girl Wigs with romantic upsweeps and the falling curls of the gay 90's. Enchanting Gibson Girl Wigs reflected a time as America came of age and styles of the period were a reflection of its charm. Looked on as a carefree period in American history the Gay 90's were a time of peace and idyllic connections to the European arts. On a bicycle built for two the ladies and gents frolicked through a whimsical time of barber shop quartets and poetic imagination. A fantastic period for romantic characters and costuming ideas, carriage rides and root beer floats.
Many writers have attempted to describe the Gibson Girl, but Susan E. Meyer, in her book America's Great Illustrators did it best and most simply:"She was taller than the other women currently seen in the pages of magazines. Infinitely more spirited and independent, yet altogether feminine. She appeared in a stiff shirtwaist, her soft hair piled into a chignon, topped by a big plumed hat. Her flowing skirt was hiked up in back with just a hint of a bustle. She was poised and patrician. Though always well bred, there often lurked a flash of mischief in her eyes."
In Victorian times, illustrators for popular magazines had as much influence on people as movies and television do today. Just as we now look for fashion ideas and moral inspiration from celebrities, actors, or musicians, so the Americans of the 1890's and first two decades of the past century found their hopes and ideals expressed in the pen-and-ink drawings of Charles Dana Gibson.*
