Better known as Alphonse Bergé The Great Drapo or The Lightning Dressmaker appeared in the 1940 World's Fair and demonstrated how he could make a dress in 20 seconds. He whips around girls, just draping and pinning, and in the end you see fabulous daytime and evening wear.

Reminds me of how I made clothes for my Barbie when I was little. I wonder what happened to the little girl that wrote the letter?
