#Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries Costume Exhibition

[phrynefishersfrocks]

The seventh and final outfit of "Death Defying Feats" (Season 3, Episode 1) is a beautiful black net dress decorated with silver vines and a gold floral headpiece.

Known as the "Tarnished Net" dress, this gorgeous gown is made of a black silk slip underneath a black netting embroidered with a burnished gold floral design, with a wide elaborate lace border. The dress itself is a simple wrap dress, with wide shoulder straps and fastened together at the waist with a 1920's clasp shaped into a lily pad with decorative pearls that belonged to costume designer Marion Boyce.

Phryne accessorizes her gown with a beautiful wrap made of antique tulle with a similar wide burnished gold lace border to match the edging of the black netting of the dress itself. Her hairpiece is a complimentary metallic gold floral decoration set onto a comb. Diamond cluster earrings and a burnished gold ring finish off the look.

One Dress a Day Challenge

July: Green Redux (+ Blue Redux)

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (s3e1, "Death Defying Feats") / Essie Davis as Phryne Fisher

This mint-green dress has a very interesting construction: it is called a tabard dress, with sleeve-frills attached by ropes of beads, worn over a base dress of the same material as the "sleeves." When it was exhibited in 2015, it was described as "1920’s green silk net with luminescent sequins and bugle beads"--which sounds like it may be a vintage piece.

This episode is quite the source for Miss Fisher costumes, as it also included Dot's orange dress and Phryne's midnight blue dress with the lace overlay. I'm also including a nice shot of the crescent-shaped hairpiece--from the front, as the side shot is out of focus.

Miss Fisher Snippets (158)

Happy birthday, Miss Marion! Thank you for being our very special guest at the Miss Fisher Con 2023 in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA. Your geniuses, graciousness, and generosity are eternally appreciated by the fandom.

The quote of Marion is from the Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries Costume Exhibition, Series 3, catalogue. She is known to have used materials from her personal collection on the show, from rare fabrics to vintage coats or jewelry. During the interview for the exhibition, she said that “once I actually use something, even if it’s actually my own (as in something I wear – either clothing or jewelry), I can never, ever wear it again once it goes on an actor as if then it belongs to them and it’s no longer mine. So I have to really like the person or the show to actually be able to hand it over.” We are really lucky that she has such a great love for Phryne and adores Essie that she shares her precious pieces with the show and the world.

I was tagged by @god-of-dramatic-death-scenes​

List 5 tv shows that make you feel good, and tag five people to do the same

I hope anime counts? Both anime I list are available for free screening on crunchyroll, if anyone’s interested.

In no particular order, then.

1. BOFURI: I don’t like getting hurt, so I’ll max out my defense

This is just so much fun. Lots of jokes (including puns and sight gags), and lead character Maple constantly wandering around the game, accidentally doing things that make the devs tear out their hair in frustration. Equal parts heartwarming, funny and awesome. Based on a simple but enchanting premise: playing video games is fun! And it’s even more fun with friends!

2. Full Metal Panic!

Still my fave anime of all time. If I’m in the mood for serious action and drama I watch season 1, second raid, or invisible victory. If I’m in the mood to fall out of my chair laughing, I’ll watch Fumoffu? And now the original books are finally ALL being published in english hopefully they’ll release the short story collections as well, which is where the comedy’s concentrated.

3. Leverage

Now becoming relevant again with the new global financial crisis due to the plague... so relevant they’re doing a revival. I’m full of hope for it as it not only has the original show runners returning, but 90% of the original cast (even if Aldiss Hodge is only recurring because of his other job). I have a not-so-secret love for heist movies, and this has a new one every week. A whole crew of Robin Hoods, taking down rich people who have escaped justice, getting payback and some cash for the people they screwed over (plus a healthy commission for themselves). Plus everyone they go after is so richly deserving of getting taken down. If you manage to get it with the commentary, I highly recommend it, it’s stuffed full of interesting behind the scenes tales, and even some very scary ones on how they came up with the Ripped From The Headlines 

4. Forever Knight

Ah, the tv show I set the VCR for every week, because it only played at 4am when originally broadcast. Thanks to my viewing this show, at one point I could rattle off the names, if not the actual phone numbers, of six phone sex hotlines, four ‘introductions for single’ hotlines, and three fortune teller hotlines (one psychic, two tarot), due to how frequently they showed up in the commercials. Anyway, take a wonderfully angsty vampire with several centuries of been there shaped history who happens to work as a police detective, his wacky/oddly wholesome partner (depending on the season) his ex and still found family, his equally found family vampire father who happens to be unabashedly evil and immensely charismatic (honestly, Lacroix was what early Damon Salvatore wanted to be when he grew up), the lovely and brainy best friend who he had buckets of Unresolved Sexual Tension with... during it’s short run, FK covered almost every genre in tv - crime, horror, high fantasy, low sci fi (if only once or twice), romance, history, several different types of ethical dilemma and family dramas. I think the only ones they didn’t hit were outright comedy (though there were plenty of funny moments and lines) high concept scifi ala Trek and the musical episode.

5. Miss Fisher’s murder mysteries / Poirot

Cheating here, yes - but basically I love both these shows equally, and for pretty much the same reasons. They’re both mysteries, in which the detective wins and everything is solved, always reassuring. The mystery genre is one of my absolute faves, both watching and reading.  They’re both period pieces, meaning gorgeous retro sets and costumes. MFMM has the edge in costumes -  they’re so fabulous three travelling exhibitions have come out of the show - and a wonderful UST filled partnership with Phryne and Jack. AND it’s 100% true blue Australian! However, Poirot has David Suchet in one of the greatest performances in audio-visual history; not just in talent but in dedication - it took him twenty four years, but he filmed every single appearance of Hercule Poirot as written by Dame Christie. Speaking of, yes, Agatha Christie, my favourite authour of possibly all time.

Actually, you know what? I’m going to cheat some more.

6. The Whedonverse - Buffy, Angel, and Firefly

I know that Joss might be controversial these days - though I have certain opinions on that, (ie at least 90% of this seems to be people who believe he’s not ‘woke’ enough to be deserving of success anymore) let’s leave it for another argument. I believe time will nonetheless prove him to be one of the greatest storytellers in tv history.  His rich, fully rounded characters, (that were allowed to be flawed, as well as awesome!) and intricate storylines that allowed a whole ensemble cast to grow and change and brought up all sorts of issues in ways that not only resonated but made you think.

7. Farscape

The show that did Muppets in Space before anyone even thought of The Mandolorian. The puppets and makeup still hold up strong, even compared to anything on Disney+ and Star Wars. Farscape made me laugh, sigh, bite my nails, anguish in sympathy, and when a certain writer/director combination showed up I sought out my old teddy bear in advance because I knew I’d fucking need it. Funny note: even though it was filmed in Sydney, I had to import the first two seasons on video tape from fucking UK!!!  It was worth it. The DVDs on the other hand were much easier.

8. Highlander: the series

Yes, I know pretty much every movie except the first one sucked - except the second, which outright Does Not Exist. But the concept really hit it’s stride as a tv show. Which has all the been there shaped history moments of Forever Knight, and in some places has outfits as fabulous as MFMM. Plus, my other not-so-secret-love... sword fights! Honestly, every single season had at least two or three sword fights that Inigo Montoya would have been proud to fight.

9. My Babysitter is a Vampire

A beautifully sweet lead couple, one of the most endearing nerd crews around, a love of the ridiculous, (at least three times, cosplay turned out to be the answer!) and running gag about an awesome Twilight parody.

10. Star Trek: Lower Decks

Just as a note, while I never got around to watching TOS for some reason, the first three sequels - TNG, DS9, and VOY - will always hold a special place in my tv watching heart. Which, oddly enough, might be why I love LD so much. Mel Brooks once said that you can only make a true parody of something you really love. The creators of LD must adore Star Trek. Not just rampantly funny but stuffed to bursting with mythology gags and shout outs.

Hmmm... how about I tag @vivilove-jonsa; @riahchan; @chocolateghost; @yourtommyginger; and @woodswit.  All in your own time, ladies and gents.

Now I’m feeling the need for some extended re-watching...

[postcambrian]

tbh when I see people on my dash going nuts over miss fisher’s murder mysteries it’s so funny to me because like. yes that’s my city. yes parts of it still look exactly like that. yes my mum went to the costume exhibit. yes i went to school with that actor.

A penchant for purple: part 3 (Series 3)

“Colours are light's suffering and joy.” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

In part 1 and part 2 of this series, we saw the disruptive influence of purple as identified by Goethe in his treatise on colour, Zur Farbenlehre (Theory of Colour).  Goethe in his analyses did not bother with colour as a physical phenomenon to be dissected; on the contrary, his philosophy concentrates on how colour is sensed and interpreted by the eye then the mind.

Goethe, poet, dramatist, novelist, and philosopher, was motivated by his interest in painting, and describes, in some of the earliest published accounts, coloured shadows, after images and complementary colours. In contrast to Isaac Newton, he was not concerned with the physics of colour, analytic measurement and cold, hard mathematics.  He was concerned with colour harmony and ways of characterising how colours affect the viewer.

Philosophers and psychologists embraced Zur Farbenlehre; physicists rejected it. 

In theorising about the psychological impacts of colours, Goethe’s ‘chromatic’ wheel, as he termed it, illustrates also the opposition of colour as perceived by the human eye. 

Purple, the most powerful wavelength of the spectrum, sits, in Goethe’s colour wheel, on the divide between reddish-yellow (orange) and the reddish-blue (violet). It resolves the polarity between yellow and blue. 

from Theory of Colours, (1840), Plate I Figure 3 and ¶612

(Primary and secondary colours are depicted as triangles and complementary relationships are depicted as straight lines.)

It was Goethe who introduced the colour purple into his schemas, while Newton’s theory contained only spectral colours. Purple is still included in colour wheels today. 

Purple is the zenith of Goethe’s world of colours.

Its manifestations in MFMM are hugely varied and, with some poetic licence, extend from pale mauve satin, delicate lilac chiffon and soft lavender feathers, to deep, rich violet felts and noble purple itself in plush velvet.  Series 3 sees on-going glimpses as well as long, lingering gazes at its tonal palette.

First glimpse appears in Episode 1 of Series 3, Death Defying Feats, and in the awkwardness, then the more relaxed environment of the morning after the night before.  Phryne and Jack have had  a couple of dates defied by death and Daddy, and they are just coming to terms with his waking up in her bed.

Our colour de jour appears in the form of a soft lavender silk scarf that accompanies Phryne’s eggshell blue chinoise coat.  Having established what took place, they revert to collaborative detective-mode to interview the contortionist, her unravelled appearance complete with floral dress displaying bunches of violets:

The pale lilac-grey scarf then accompanies Phryne and Dot, then Phryne and Jack on investigations into the mysteriously misplaced mermaid Millie, with reflections of the blue-lavender in the trim of Phryne’s red cloche:

Mysterious Millie offers some purple accessories of her own:

Goethe appreciates that the sensation of complementarity does not originate physically from the actions of light on our eyes but perceptually from the actions of our brain - our visual system.

And in his system, it is green that has a complementary relationship to purple (just saying):

Episode 2, Murder and the Maiden

Just when we thought, after the Episode 1 date disasters, that things might start looking up, along comes Episode 2 and a pronounced purple patch.

Purple’s ability to both excite and then dampen delight appears in another piece of gorgeous chinoiserie, and no subtlety of colour this time. The black, midnight blue and purple silk has purple silk lining, trim and cuffs, and a purple cloche with silk embroidered floral motifs; Phryne’s earrings dangle purple appeal.

Despite some reminiscing and some subsequent remonstrating, the dashing detective duo collaborate to confound culprits (and captains):

Series 3, Episode 3 Murder and Mozzarella

For a scene with ‘a rival for Jack’s affection’ Phryne needs an outfit that ‘is sexy but incredibly elegant’ (MFMM Costume Exhibition catalogue). It is black beaded Chantilly lace over a purple silk under-slip.

Phryne’s visit is to find out, ostensibly, more about the feud between culinary families and involvement of the Camorra, but perhaps it is more than rival restaurants that incite the visit.

Concetta: You are a friend of Gianni's? Jack.  

Phryne: A friend, yes. And you? 

Concetta: Si. He tried very hard to find who killed my husband, but it is not easy. Since then he has dinner here many, many nights. 

Phryne: He must like the food.

And just to make sure we have this evening and the next day firmly established as significant, the next morning reinforces the purple theme, with perhaps one of the most telling scenes in relation to Phryne’s growing propriety of Jack:

Phryne: I didn't know you drank coffee, Jack. 

Jack: Would you like me to make a full confession? 

Phryne: No, thank you. I prefer a never-ending source of mystery.

Jack: Concetta, this is Miss Fisher. 

Concetta: Si. We talked last night. 

Jack: Did you now?

The rich purple velvet jacket with wide buttoned cuffs is teemed with a black straw hat and feathers of black, white and lavender and a long black and purple floral print scarf.  The coat could well be one we’ve seen previously in Raisins and Almonds and/or Juana, but without the fur collar.  But it continues tonally the link with Phryne’s dinner with Concetta.

The tonal link with Jack too is reinforced as they walk away from Strano’s, the red lining of their coats in step with their, well... step.

There’s some serious manoeuvring on both their parts as murder investigation and personal interest interplay in a truly delightful exchange of flirtatious banter:

Jack: So you came back to the restaurant last night. 

Phryne: I had a few questions for Concetta. 

Jack: Did you get the answers you were looking for? 

Phryne: Too early to say. When you say 'old friend', do you mean 'old friend' like Dr Mac, or 'old friend' like Captain Compton? 

Jack: Concetta Strano hasn't saved my life from a burning plane wreck in Madagascar, if that's what you mean.

Then a change of tone as concern for one another becomes serious:

Jack: I'm more concerned about you getting in too deep. 

Phryne: Who, me? 

Jack: Look, these people have been killing each other for generations... 

Phryne: I'll be careful. Promise me you'll be careful too. 

The plush purple and accoutrements head off to the docks for a shoot out:

Then a meeting with Mac in the morgue:

Mac: I have no doubt she was attacked, but that wasn't what killed her. 

Phryne: There were mushrooms in the dish she was preparing. 

Mac: That is where it gets interesting. I tested the contents. Those mushrooms were not poisonous. 

Phryne: So, she was killed by different mushrooms?

A slightly awkward interview with Guido:

And a return to the scene of the crime and a rather beautiful vignette in the restaurant garden with Marianna:

The colour seems to be significant in this episode in its presence in scenes that highlight both personal and professional ties.

So to the final coup d’oeil for the series in Game, Set and Murder,  Episode 8. Tennis is at the heart of this murderous mystery - literally!

Phryne wears a lilac silk chiffon scarf with yet another piece of chinoiserie, this time a smokey silver-blue jacket. Trim on the palest mauve-grey straw cloche echoes the scarf. 

Phryne’s old friendship with the Burrows is tested, as love of tennis becomes more than a game.  Constance loves tennis to the point of obsession and her adoring husband is prepared to support her ambition at any length.

In the scenes set in the gorgeous grounds of Ripponlea (Aunt P’s house again?) the lilac of the the scarf is reflected in the jacaranda in bloom behind the tennis courts. 

The detective duo are decidedly working as a mixed double - both on and off the court, despite a deuce of a difficulty or two or three: prying paparazzi, tempting tennis contestants, and arachnophobic interludes.

Final score - love all?

Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries Costume College 2019 Exhibit

One of the guest speakers at Costume College 2019 was Marion Boyce, the costume designer for Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries (2012-2015).

The sixth and final look of "Murder Under the Mistletoe" (Season 2, Episode 13) is an eyecatching dress and cape combo made of shimmering red and gold fabric, along with a festive feather headband.

Phryne's holiday dress is made of a tarnished gold metallic lace, finely woven together, with a slip of antique maroon georgette worn underneath. It has a slightly scooped neckline and two straps over her shoulders. Adding to the luxe drama of the party, Phryne adds a beautiful capelet to her look. The capelet is a complementary floral metallic, and has fitted shoulders and wraps loosely around her neck. Her exaggerated split sleeves create movement and waft across the champagne and conversation.

She adds to her look with a feathered headband - hand dyed to match her dress, with a series of feathers set in a circle to imitate a nest, with a small bead serving as a wink at an egg. Two rosettes made from the same feathers, one slightly smaller than the other, rest on her left shoulder to accentuate the headpiece.

Miss Fisher finishes her ensemble with a brass flower ring with a jade center and gold t-strap heels, worn previously in 2x09 with her 'Golden Girl' dress.

Bridal treasures a glimpse into family history

She said the 1970s was a natural place for the exhibition to conclude, as the rise of ready-made dresses put paid to the days of mothers, aunts, and grandmothers contributing their seamstress skills to a brides dress. We live in such disposable society, we forget how much was made by the family or made by local artisans, Ms Boyce said. Sometimes I see some of those frocks and theyre so incredibly beautiful, and someones spent a year lovingly making that frock. You just look at it and you see the love, hope and desire its really quite moving. One such example is a dress made from parlour curtains: a 1930s-era example of how resourceful people became to create beauty out of very little, when coupons for material were scarce in post-War rationing. In every decade theres a beginning, a middle and an end, style-wise, Ms Boyce said. A 1930s silk bridal gown, bias cut with a donated veil. Photo: John Gollings A lot of people go okay the 1920s, its flappers its not; its started somewhere and ended somewhere. Its lovely seeing the changing shapes of the silhouettesand what drove that, whether it be depression, war, opulence, money there are all sorts of things that dictate what goes on. Best known for her costume work on films such as The Dressmaker and television shows such as Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries, Ms Boyce said the collection came from her own searches, gifts from family and friends, and also from fans of her costume work. The collection on display includes an 1880s broadcloth bridal dress in the style of European couturier Charles Worth, as well as a 1950s sunray pleated organza wedding dress showing the best of the post-War fashion boom. Restoring many of the frocks to their full glory involved tracking down suitable material to create replacement veils, or matching differing materials from the same era to create flower girl dresses to accompany the white dresses. I collect buttons and laces and all sorts of things to reuse and to put into costumes, or put into creating stories and exhibitions and costumes for shows, Ms Boyce said. I do believe theyre made to be repurposed. Thats what weve always done through our lives. A lot of those dresses have got lace from their mothers frock or their grandmothers frock. One of Ms Boyces own personal favourites in the collection is a magnificent 1930s bias-cut frock that stands in the entrance hall at the exhibition. Its sublime in its elegance the cutting skills involved in that are just quite extraordinary, she said. In an exhibition that champions the home-made, the artisan and the power of memory and love, Ms Boyce said she hoped visitors would leave with a sense of honouring their own family heirlooms. I worry about the way we store memories and treasures these days, she said. I remember being fascinated as a child listening to the stories and my mother bringing out the treasures, and youre thinking about your great-aunts and thinking about your grandmother who was a master lace maker being told the story through treasures. Now all of our memories are on iPhones. I hope that people look at their family treasures in a different way. The Bowerbird and The Bride is on display at Old Government House at QUT, until August 19. Tickets $26. https://www.smh.com.au/national/queensland/bridal-treasures-a-glimpse-into-family-history-20180801-p4zuwd.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed

Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries Re-worn Jewelry Series: #10, 1920s Gold and Crystal Pendant

Thanks to Dayna’s tremendous pictures from the Costume Exhibition, we know that this necklace is an authentic 1920s piece, made with gold and crystals, and purchased by designer Marion Boyce at an Australian Vintage Fair.

Episodes listed in captions—1x03, 1x12, 2x02, 2x07, 3x03, 3x04  (6 episodes total)

Season 1 and 2 screencaps from here, Season 3 from here.

[phrynefishersfrocks]

The first ensemble of "Unnatural Habits" (Season 2, Episode 12) is a sumptuous embossed white coat, white blouse and pants, grey scarf and matching white cloche.

A subtle yet fabulous example of Phryne's outerwear, this coat is made of white silk embossed with cascading circular art deco patterns layered over one another. It also is trimmed with marabou down feathers along the collar and hem, adding to the luxurious feel.

Underneath her coat, Miss Fisher wears a white sleeveless blouse, possibly made of crepe, has a sloping neckline and a matching tie knotted loosely at her collarbone, previously seen twice in 2x07. She pairs them with her classic wide-leg silk faille pants and practical grey suede heels.

Her white felt cloche has an icy grey silk velvet trim, curling from around the back up to two separate swirls across the right side and the front. Interestingly, this is the same design but completely different material as her cloche worn back in 1x04. The season one cloche had a single layer of thin grey felt, while this hat has a raised dimensional design of color-shifting velvet.

Phryne of course has equally fashionable accessories, including a gorgeous grey silk scarf printed with white roses that picks up the rich grey in her cloche's decorative trim. Her earrings have two carved mother of pearl flowers each, with the bottommost flower containing a silver center, as seen in the bottom right corner of the exhibition earring photo.
