The dress this woman is wearing, as she hangs a poster in Greenwich Village, could be a piece in any modern New York girl's closet. And the photo was taken in the 1920s. That dress would be almost 100 years old today, and I don't think anyone would bat an eye if you wore it out for drinks in today's Greenwich Village.
In fact, I don't think anyone would bat an eye if a dress like that came down the runway at Fashion Week . . . on a model like Karlie Kloss . . . at a Marc Jacobs' show . . . in a Spring 2011 Ready-to-Wear collection, for example . . .
I guess some pieces really are timeless . . .

Call me crazy, but I like the one from the 20s way more.....
The only things that gives me a clue about the era in the first photo are the shoes.

That's what I love about fashion...it's ability to re-discover old designs and make them fabulous again.
