I just finished watching the 2009 PBS version of Emma- the best one, in my opinion! My roommate and I were discussing how the lovely the costuming is, and how we wish girls could still dress in that style and attend balls! Emma's wardrobe is my favorite; I love her pink-hued gowns and charming accessories. I also enjoyed Frank Churchill's costumes, which are of a much flashier and bolder style than those of Mr. Knightley, whose pieces are classic and reserved.

Very lovely! I agree about Emma's gowns, and although I'm not Frank's biggest fan I do like all the colors and textures that he wears as opposed to Mr Knightley's sort of dull ones. Any girl with a hint of the romantic in her adores Regency style and society I think! Good choice =)
