Episode 3 & 4 of Miss Phryne's Fisher Wardrobe

Episode 3 and Episode 4 of Miss Phryne's Murder Mysteries, the Australian crime period drama series, had several 1920s outfits I liked. It's also when we start seeing a repeat of some of Phryne's wardrobe and repetitions of other character's clothing. I do love it when a tv show recycles clothing, especially in period series as I feel it's much more authentic to the era.

Without further ado, clothing and ensembles from the set in the 1920s tv series, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. And as always, screen caps from Grande Caps/Period-Drama.

This cardigan and blouse worn by Dot is one of my favorites. The colors are so sweet.

Isn't this tweed suit just amazing! Phryne looks so good in red!

This red ensemble is a repeat! Hooray!

Dot's blouse with the bow is just so cute! I think my personal wardrobe is a blending of Phryne's and Dot's closet. I'd like to think so anyway :)

More Flapper Wardrobe from Miss Fisher!

It's another installment of beautiful 1920s frocks from the Australian tv series, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. If you missed the clothes from episode 1, season 1, you can view them here. This episode has several flapper outfits I really quite fancy and I also adore Dot's wardrobe as the colors are more up my alley.

OH...and if you're interested in reading more about the 1920s costumes in this tv show, here is a lovely interview with Marion Boyce, the costume designer for the show: Designing Miss Fisher's Wardrobe

All screen caps from Grande Caps-Period Drama.

This ensemble is my favorite, thus far, from the series. I WILL find a grey wool coat just like this someday! I normally don't wear a lot of red, but the grey and red just look so damn swell together!

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries: 1920s Vintage Wardrobe

I was tipped off about this intriguing crime period drama from Solanah of Vixen Vintage and at the mention of 1920s wardrobe, my interest was instantly piqued! The show I speak of is the Australian series, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, a crime series set in the 1920s.

The series stars Essie Davis as the witty, sassy, and incredibly well outfitted flapper Phryne Fisher, who is also a female detective. Nothing I like more than a historical mystery series while the main star runs about in fur trimmed velvet coats, floral adorned cloche hats, and conceals a blade and gold gun in her lace trimmed hosiery.

Here are some gorgeous screen caps from the show via Grande-Caps/Period Drama showcasing some of my favorite 1920s outfits from the show for episode 1, season 1. You really must watch it if you love 1920s fashion!

Monday Vintage Muse: Mary Pickford

Mary Pickford born in 1892 in Canada has a long resume under her name. She starting acting on Broadway in 1907 with a supporting role in The Warrens of Virginia along side Cecil N DeMille. She went on to be one of the most famous silent film actress, co-founder of the film studio United Artists as well as one of the original 36 founders of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. She was the first canadian actress to make it big in Hollywood and paved the way for all actresses to demand more in their contracts. Because of her contributions to the film industry AFI named her on their list of great female stars of all time.

She stared in 52 feature films throughout her career and landed unprecedented contracts with film companies. The arrival of sound in the motion picture business was the start to the end of her career. Her reaction to the talkies was less than welcoming stating that, claiming that "adding sound to movies would be like putting lipstick on the Venus de Milo". After she retired from acting she continued to work producing films for her company United Artists with partner Charlie Chaplin.

Mary had a troubled life later on with the deaths of her close family members and struggles with alcoholism. She died in 1979 in Santa Monica but left a large legacy behind her. There are many facilities in Los Angeles named after Pickford including The Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study, The Mary Pickford Theater at the Library of Congress, to name a few.
