Evelyn Nesbit (Fall 2013)

If there ever was a lady who deserved more recognition, it's Evelyn Nesbit. A cabinet card girl from the early 1900's, she was one of the first live models for fashion: she also was idealized as "The Gibson Girl" by Charles Gibson.

Most importantly (well, for this post anyways), she is a prominent character in the stage musical "Ragtime". I was fortunately enough to make the "swimsuit" style outfit for her Atlantic City scene. You will note that it is neither a period swim suit or an actual swimsuit: the director took this scene in a slightly more creatively liberal direction.
