I have recently watched Pride and Prejudices made in 2005. The costumes for this production were designed by Jaqueline Durran and are inspired by clothing in 1790 due to the directors vision.
I did some research into the costumes and according to the website Costumers Guides the waistline are lower than the empire waistline to due the period it is being set. They are also differences in the main characters costumes to portray ideas about them such as earth colours being used on Elizabeth Bennets costumes to portray her love of countryside and how Caroline Bingley's costumes have a empire waistline to show that she is very fashionable and of a upper class status.
I especially like this costume because of the strap of colour that has been added to the a white dress. The pleating used creates a really nice decorative effect and really aids in making a elegant silhouette.
