Gladys Whitcomb Geissmann, better known as Merry Hull (August 6, 1908 – June 1978) was an American designer and inventor. The sister of illustrator Jon Whitcomb, Hull graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University where she was a member of the Alpha Rho chapter of Delta Gamma. In 1946, Merry Hull created a "Turnabout Unit," a set of bolero, hat, bag, and belt that could be made at home from a pattern. A response to wartime shortages, the "Turnabout Unit" allowed women to update their wardrobes with fabric they already owned. The patterns were sold for ten cents by This Week magazine.
