| Description: | "While-you-wait Frock", 1920s (style looks like 1920- 1921) French fashion designer shows how quickly a dress can be made. Model in undergarments (strapless) stands holding her arms above her head; working at high speed, the designer grabs a piece of fabric and wraps it around her, pinning it snugly in back. A lot more of the fabric is still trailing down on the floor and he does some creative pinning and draping ot the skirt, sticks a big feather in her hair, adds another feathery thing around one arm, takes a piece of sparkling material and tucks it in at the bust so that it hangs over part of the dress down to knee level, hands her a feather fan and voila! C'est fini! Model poses in her stunning new 2-minute gown. | |
