My inspiration......

My inspiration can come from out of nowhere sometimes. Movies are one of those places from which I absorb such inspiration for my designs.  I absolutely love watching Jane Austen movies!  I can't really say I have a favorite, but I do especially like the gowns worn by Gwynneth Paltrow in "Emma". Isn't she just lovely....and absolutely perfect for the part!  If you notice in viewing all of Jane's movies, it is easy to identify the historical period in which she wrote by noticing the similarities in the high waistlines, puffy sleeves, and visible decolletage of the necklines. Speaking of "Emma", I think I'll watch it again this weekend!.  -  Tina
