Good observation...though I think someone else did that little hip detail before Vera. I loved that dress on Michelle Williams. The color, style, details...everything.
Personally I don't think so, they look pretty different to me. MW dress is retro insipired, where Keira's is from a movie and thus is a lot more costume-like.
I did run across an article saying Durran was based heavily on vintage designs..maybe they were looking at the same inspiration? I think the fabric gathering across the hips is particularly distinctive...I'm not sure I would be a fan of this look on me...
That is a good observation, I never made that connection. Though the hip detail is definitely vintage. See the movie "Laura" (1944) with Gene Tierney. Bonnie Cashin designs a white dress with similar detailing at the hips.
