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.
since these are children's clothes, feel free to interpret this how you want — you can choose what you would have wanted to wear when you were a kid, or you can pretend the clothes are sized up for adults, or however you'd like to decide your fave outfit! ☺️
Last week, I dressed up comfortably to visit the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal with my dad, and except for one exhibition about lifestyle and space creation from Inuit, Sámi, and other communities across the Arctic, there was nothing to see. The old section of the museum, House Shaughnessy (where I took those photos), had beautiful ceilings and walls, but nothing else. The winter garden with the beautiful stainglass was closed. All in all, it was a very big and empty museum. On its webpage, it says “We’re not a museum that puts things out and says, ‘This is architecture.’ We try to make people think", and indeed, it made me think of how much space was wasted there, in a city where living is more and more expensive, and people almost fight for lodging spaces.
