Isn't this a wonderful couple of dresses? And so lovely for Christmastime, too. That's why I love Australian magazines; the swap of the seasons is like a guaranteed perspective shift.
I can't decide if the yellow or the green is more Christmassy. Hard to tell. I do like the pairing of the cummerbund with the sweetheart neckline, though.
This is from Christine's 20th Century Fashion Page, which has tons of great images like this. (Warning, it also has pop-ups.) Really worth a visit!

Those are lovely. I think Vogue has reissued a vintage pattern very similar to this, if memory serves.

I vote for the green one, made in sheer polka dots, to be worn over a coordinating slip. *lesigh*

I 2nd the vote for the green one. I love the dotted fabric. I would make it in the same fabric but white. I would love it in dotted fabric in any color.
