One Dress a Day Challenge

October: Silver Redux

Thoroughly Modern Millie / Carol Channing as Muzzy Van Hossmere

This back and skirt of this dress appear to be made up of sequinned panels over a beige foundation. There's a suggestion of a belt, but I believe it's part of the dress. The long necklace does seem to be a separate piece, but it is possibly sewn to the dress to keep it from bouncing around too much as she dances.

One Dress a Day Challenge

November: Grey Redux

Thoroughly Modern Millie / Julie Andrews as Millie Dilmount

Although it conveys the 1920s effectively, this dress also has a lot of the 1960s "mod" look about it, from the piping to the chunky pockets to the neck and sleeve shape. This is perhaps not surprising, as the dropped waist came into fashion again in the 1960s.

I never really noticed the green stripe on the dress until I started making screencaps, but it goes with her green bead necklace.
