"Blanche and Mary were of equal stature,-straight and tall as poplars. Mary was too slim for her height; but Blanche was moulded like a Diana" (174-175).
Diana was a Greek goddess, the Goddess of the Hunt, the moon, etc. To say someone was molded like a "Diana" would be to call them extremely beautiful, tall, and statuesque, as well as strong and graceful. So basically Bronte is saying Blanche looks perfect and is perfect in a way.
