Frances Pyle models a flowing, ruffled gown for the Los Angeles Times' First Annual Fashion Show, where designers from the fashion and entertainment worlds introduced their Fall styles. The dress features sheer shoulder sleeves, and what appears to be a small, bundle of silk flowers pinned at the belted waist. Pyle's ruff collar is also sheer. She holds a Chinese fan in one hand. There were multiple showings of the event--which included amateur and professional models, actors, singing, and other types of entertainment. The show took place in the Los Angeles Times building on 202 West 1st Street, most likely inside what is now the Harry Chandler Auditorium.
