Grace Snell went from bondage to bum rolls with barely time to change. Fresh off Pillion<\/em>, director Harry Lighton\u2019s leather-clad biker romance, she was hired to dress Georgia Oakley\u2019s Sense and Sensibility<\/a><\/em> the day after her interview, with nine weeks to pull it off. It was also her first period film.<\/p>\n

In case your Austen is a little rusty, Sense and Sensibility<\/em>, Jane Austen\u2019s first published novel, follows the Dashwood sisters<\/a> after their father\u2019s death leaves their family broke and banished to a modest cottage in Devonshire. Elinor (Daisy Edgar-Jones<\/a>) is all sense, quietly carrying a torch for the reserved Edward Ferrars (George MacKay). Marianne (Esm\u00e9 Creed-Miles) is all sensibility, falling hard for the dashing Willoughby (Frank Dillane) while the steadfast Colonel Brandon (Herbert Nordrum) pines patiently from the sidelines. Oakley directs from a script by novelist Diana Reid, following Ang Lee\u2019s 1995 classic, which won Emma Thompson<\/a> an Oscar<\/a> for her screenplay and earned Kate Winslet her first Oscar nomination. The new version hits theaters this week, on October 16.<\/p>\n

Snell felt the pressure. She\u2019s a \u201cbig Jane Austen fan,\u201d has read the novels, and grew up watching (and rewatching) Lee\u2019s film, so she knows how protective Austen fans can be. \u201cA lot of the fans have ownership over her work and a deep connection to it,\u201d she tells TZR. Her solution was to tune it all out and design it \u201ccompletely seriously, from my perspective.\u201d The result is a Sense and Sensibility<\/em> that looks almost nothing like the one in your head, and that\u2019s on purpose.<\/p>\n
