November: Oscar Winners
A Room with a View / Helena Bonham-Carter as Lucy Honeychurch
Year: 1986
Designer: Jenny Beavan and John Bright
Lucy wears this outfit for a brief scene of tea in the garden. Some of the costumes for this film were vintage pieces, and I wonder if this might be one of them, with the intricate embroidery on the top (does it qualify as a shirtwaist?). I also wonder if it might have been chosen as a nod to the original novel, where the famous kiss in the flower field happens in spring rather than summer, and the flowers are violets rather than poppies.
There's a very good writeup of the costumes in this film here.

October: White Redux
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang / Sally Ann Howes as Truly Scrumptious
What's that, you say? A touch of black has crept into our white costumes? Oh, just ignore it. I'm sure it means nothing.
This movie is set somewhere between 1900 and 1910, but this costume really just suggests it without going for strict historical accuracy. I'm pretty sure boas like that were not for day wear, and just what is that thing on her head? Nevertheless, it's cute, and good for dancing in. Looking at this in comparison with a couple other costumes from around the same time, I'm getting the feeling that piping was a popular thing around the end of the 1960s.
Notice the faint polka dots on the bow on the bodice front!
