Sense and Sensibility, Emma
by Jane Austen


Jane Austen is the favourite author of the client who commissioned this.  She is very feminine, and pink is one of her favourite colours, so the inspiration for this was easy.  I had never seen a clamshell box with two books side by side  flat - usually companion books are presented so that both titles are visible along the spines at one glance.  But I wanted this to look like two little dresses hanging side by side.  Different, but I think it worked!

Sense and sensibility, showing the printed cotton fabric, designed to be reminiscent of an empire line dress
