This movie is pretty much a thinly-veiled ripoff of a UK period drama series called The House of Eliott.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101123/combined

Check out this synopsis for THoE:

"From the creators of Upstairs, Downstairs (Jean Marsh, Eileen Atkins) comes an addictive drama series set in the era of flappers and suffragettes. Louise Lombard (Hidalgo, CSI) and Stella Gonet (Nicholas Nickleby) star as Evangeline and Beatrice Eliott, sisters born into wealth and privilege who must support themselves after their profligate father dies and leaves them penniless. They have no education or training, just a passion for fashion design. As suitors try to woo them and scoundrels try to trip them up, they make independent, exciting lives for themselves and the women they employ in their house of haute couture. "

Or just a crappy remake of Sense and Sensibility perhaps?
