Battle between old and new!  New has better material, better measurements, and arguably, better colors and pattern (you might've linked me to this before).  But, my heart still yearns for a vintage DVF.  Will prob bid on neither (maybe new, if I could get 50% off), though I've been on a perpetual hunt for a shirt dress, and this fits the bill, more or less.  Regardless, this comparison def shows that DVF's design has maintained its core for the last forty years.

A -- 2/9/11: Ok the old?  Looks like a bunch of maggots/worms crawling around.  I literally shuddered a little when I saw the pics.  And the new is basically another b&w DVF (I know, w/a slight addition colorwise, but still).  If I HAD to pick, I'd pick the new, but really, neither.

T, 2/13/11:  vtg ended at $40.99 with 2 bids; new ended with no bids, but was relisted for more (I'll never get that, but maybe sellers are aware of eBay's mood swings).  Guess vtg wins out.
