"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will..."

I've known about this for a little while, but just started to look into it more today. Mia Wasikowska will be staring in a feature film of Jane Eyre. I'm interested to see how the story strays from the novel (I didn't see a character listing on IMDB a character listing for Grace Poole, but I may have missed it), but I can't wait to see the dresses. There is a teaser on IMDB of a gorgeous striped white and purply-grey silk that Blanche Ingram wears while visiting Mr. Rochester. I'd love to make it someday (and that may be feasible, considering I've learned more about fitting and pattern making). There are a number of beautiful 1840's dresses showcased throughout the internet, including the one of Mia below. The movie comes out on March 11th, so I'll have to see it over spring break at some point.
