The first film you referred to was House of Elliot. I reproduce below an extract of therelevant website. Hope it would refresh your memory.
House of Elliot
Left penniless, Beatrice and Evangeline Elliott (Stella Gonet and Louise Lombard) embark on a dressmaking business. Their talent for designing and making glamorous high-fashion leads to success for The House of Elliott.
When the philandering Elliott dies penniless there is no inheritance for his daughters Beatrice and Evangeline to survive on. Forced to go into business their London dressmaking enterprise grows into a industrial force to be reckoned with.
The House of Elliot was devised by Eileen Atkins and Jean Marsh, who had previously come up with the brief for Upstairs, Downstairs. The series had all the hallmarks of classic costume drama - class struggle, posh frocks and a bit of history - but what made The House of Elliot different was that it moved along at a cracking pace and was scripted like a soap opera. Not surprisingly, it was an instant hit and consistently attracted audiences of over 10 million.
Bea and Evie's (Stella Gonet and Louise Lombard) father dies and they discover that not only has he left them without a penny, he has sired an illegitimate son! Evie befriends Penelope, a women's rights campaigner and general do-gooder, who helps Bea land a job as a personal assistant to her brother Jack, a society photographer. He's a bit of a bounder but a generally a good egg.
Soon the sisters' home-made outfits are attracting attention and their dream of founding the House of Elliot becomes a reality. Oh there's trouble on the way, but our plucky gals win through in the end
I cannot locate the other film. It is not either Scar Face of the other film mentioned by one answerer.There are a number of films bearing thesenames but the stories do not agree with the ones mentioned by you.Hope some other answerer succeeds in locating them.

The first one sounds like House of Elliott. The second one sounds like it could possibly be So Haunt Me. It had Raquel from Only Fools And Horses, and was about a family living in a house which was haunted by an old Jewish woman.

First one is House of Elliott, which was about two sisters who ran a fashion house in the twenties. Starred Louise Lombard as Evie, I think and Stella Gonet as the older. blonde sister. I used to watch it when I was younger. Think it used to be on a Sunday night. Ran for quite a few series as well if I remember right.
The second one rings a bell but I can't remember the name, will keep an eye on your answers and kick myself when someone gets it right.

Not sure about hte second programme, but the first was most definitely the House of Elliot. Two upper-middle class sisters find themselves impoverished following the death of their father and his indebtedness. They decide that, since they have always had an eye for fashio, to set up their own haute couture fasion house - hence the name.

The first is House of Elliott which gets repeated on UK Drama every few months. The second is So Haunt Me, a lot of people ask about that one.
