I had a hankering to rewatch the 2005 Pride and Prejudice, and I am noticing, ( for instance )

Basically I love everything in this movie that involves Caroline Bingley. I don't know if it's a cultural thing or just reflects badly on me as a person, but I am charmed by people insulting each other very politely.

Also, since I started sewing, I keep pausing movies to look at how the costumes are put together. I love the dresses in this movie (so flattering! So comfortable-looking!) and it was only yesterday that I figured out about the y-seam in the back of the bodice. Why is it there? What does it do? Is there really no side seam?

I realize that discussing this without screencaps is unfair to everyone who hasn't seen the movie as much as I have, but it's sunday morning and I'm having a livejournal ramble, so there.

Happy Sunday?
