Look at the two patterns I just bought from ebay for $5 each. I am drooling! What fabric should I make them out of? Suggestions?

Not sure what to recommend about the fabric to use. But I am drooling over the patterns also.
Ooh, these are fun. I would do the bottom pattern in a heavy, tweedy, beige wool or something. I hope you show pictures of anything you make with these!
I like a nice light-weight linen for the yellow dress on the right. Perhaps an Easter/spring color. Butter yellow? Light pink or peach or seafoam green? The white is simply gorgeous as well.
Can't wait to see the end result.
The gal on the left (in black & white dress), her look/hair is to die for!
