A Lean Beauty – Margaret Gorman
In 1921, Miss America was crowned by Margaret Gorman at the age of 16. Before becoming the first-ever Miss America, her athletic ability, outgoing personality, and past achievements earned her the Miss District of Columbia title. Her fans believed the body type of the beauty queen was the ideal of that decade. You can see that this was very different from the curvy Gibson Girls of the previous era. People admired women at that time who had lean bodies!

1930s – The Soft Siren
Although the Roaring Twenties were iconic as well as fun, the period wasn’t always around. The market crashed, as well as the radar also dropped off the boxy flapper dresses. More fitted outfits have been the attire of women’s choice in the ’30s. The shapes of women’s bodies were hugged better by these dresses. It would be quite a faux pas if this happened a couple of years earlier! As they say, “Times do change for a lady of fashion.”
