<B>From McCall's Magazine in September 1929 these evening gowns are the latest thing from Paris, but of course you bought the pattern to make these at home. <br> But it's all about points, hemline points, waistline points, neckline points, they are L'Echo De Paris!<p>"There are always details that date a new Paris frock as belonging to the season just beginning instead of the one coming to an end, and pointed treatments are just such a detail in the new French showings.
