Emily’s head is in a very different space to most of the other young people and certainly many of the other women of her time. We wanted to show a person who was cut from a different cloth and was in this environment in Amherst, Massachusetts that was really restrictive. In that society people get caught up in the latest fashions and there’s where we were going with most of the young women in the scene. They would have all the correct bits and laces and flowers, but for Emily, even though she’s still young at this point, we wanted to indicate that she really more a person of what was going on inside her head than what was out in the social world. She was very in-tune with nature and the world around her but she was really trying to sort out what she was looking for and finding kindred spirits. I think the clothing reflects that. She knows that she has to tow the line to a certain point, as far as wearing the corsets and wearing the bloomers but I think she liked to really refine and simplify her look. That was also sort of a nod towards her poetry as well, because her poetry is really quite different from anything that had happened before in the history of poetry in America. We wanted to demonstrate the simplicity that is in her poetry and in her physical presentation at that point. — ‘Dickinson’ Costume Designer John Dunn
