What are similarities in the film taming of the shrew and ten things i hate about you?

There is a similarity in the basic plot structure: there are two sisters, and the romantic plans of the younger cannot go forward until the romantic plans of the elder are in motion, but the elder sister is difficult to mate. Ten things also borrowed some names and so on, but essentially this is the extent of the similarity between the two. The characters of Kat and Kate are totally different: Kat is a misandrist man-hater who is not interested in men, even when they are interested in her; Kate is interested, but is so obnoxious, so used to bullying everyone, that no men are interested in her. Petruchio genuinely wants Kate from the start--his problem is how to live with her. Patrick is not interested in Kat; he's being paid to get her to date him. All of the characters' motivations and actions are quite different, no matter which Shrew film you are talking about. Only the base plot is similar.

Does anyone have any costume ideas for Bianca in Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew?
I saw a film version of The Taming of the Shrew where all the costumes were a mix of red-orange, white, and khaki. Bianca wore a white dress with a pale sash. Katherine wore a white dress with a red satin corset. (This would be the American Conservatory Theatre's production in 1976) I saw a stage version set in the 1970s where Kate was a punk rocker and Bianca was the girl next door. Basically, you want Bianca to be dressed conventionally, in contrast to Kate's more idiosyncratic look. This will underline their characters.

Kiss Me Kate - a 1953 musical with Kathryn Grayson, Howard Keel and Ann Miller, and songs by Cole Porter.* Another modern day film adaptation or interpretation is 10 Things I Hate About You.It definitely takes away from the original language and beauty of Shakespeare's text by turning the story into a high school chick-flick, but the story line is quite similar and might be easier to understand for younger/teen audiences!
