I found a good website with screencaps from the movie: http://www.leavemethewhite.com/caps/thumbnails.php?album=131&page=1

;D Well, BBM and this forum actually taught me the benefits of looking for screencaps sites when it comes to looking for images from films. Often much better than things like Google image searches.
OK, I've been meaning to post this for a while... it's not a picture, but a quotation from Keith Richards in his recent autobiography about the early days of his relationship with Anita Pallenberg (late 1960s). He talks about her in glowing terms throughout most of the book. While not necessarily about wearing dresses... this is about wearing women's clothing.
Anita had a huge influence on the style of the times. She could put anything together and look good. I was beginning to wear her clothes most of the time. I would wake up and put on what was lying around. Sometimes it was mine, and sometimes it was the old lady's, but we were the same size so it didn't matter... I started to become a fashion icon for wearing my old lady's clothes.

Wasn't that long ago that people were still doing it. There are stories in my family of boys in the 1950's being dressed as girls until they reached school age.
