  John Culme's Footlight Notes - Celebrity of the Week: Camille Clifford (1885-1971), Danish-born, American raised, ...
From obscure Scandinavian-American origins, Camille Clifford became an overnight sensation upon the London stage in 1904 as the epitome of the 'Gibson Girl'.
Clifford, only an assurance as to his "means." The lady was a "Gibson girl" on the Vaudeville stage, i.e.

 Camille Clifford
She was raised for a time in Denmark and then whilst still quite young was taken to the USA aboard a scandinavian emigrant ship (possibly by her mother alone as she landed in Nova Scotia under the name of Ottersen).
It was an imaginary ideal that few real women could come close to, but Camille fit the part so perfectly that she could have been the very model on whom the drawings were made.
Following the death of her husband Camille made a brief return to the stage, appearing in "The Girl of the Future" at the Finsbury Park Empire and then on tour.

 Gibson Girl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gibson Girl was the personification of the feminine ideal as portrayed in the satirical illustrated stories created by illustrator Charles Dana Gibson during the first 15 years of the twentieth century.
The Gibson Girl was tall, slender yet with ample bosom, hips and bottom in the S-curve torso shape achieved by wearing a swan-bill corset.
The most famous Gibson Girl was probably the Danish-American stage actress, Camille Clifford, whose towering coiffure and long, elegant gowns wrapped around her hourglass figure and tightly corsetted wasp waist defined the style.

Although he received no formal training in music he was always aware of it as an art-form, and as his paternal grandfather was a music professor and several of his aunts and uncles were members of Teddington’s St. Alban’s Church Choir, one might say it was in his blood.

Very noticeable, is the extreme S-bend shape and on page 20, is a photograph of actress Camille Clifford who was a great beauty at that time and epitomized that look.
But in the photos of Clifford and the Dairymaids, their dress is almost sheath-like and the boned corset is really exaggerating the "S curve." More so than any other year.
It just makes me wonder if those at the forefront of fashion had to have new dress forms made to accommodate this style when it was most exaggerated.
