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.
Season 3, Episode 1 - "Death Defying Feats"

'Music makes you feel good'
Music and music therapy an important part of life at Andrews Senior Care and ProTem Memory Care
Amanda Shea has seen first-hand the benefits music can have on seniors and people living with dementia.
Amanda, a program coordinator with ProTem Memory Care, a dementia care home in Moncton, N.B., has been incorporating music therapy, an umbrella term for all music-related activities at ProTem, into residents’ daily routines since she joined three years ago.
“A lot of time with dementia and cognitive impairment, people are in a state of worry,” she said. “Even something as simple as putting on headphones with a playlist of favourite music a family member has put together…that can bring them from a very heightened state (of agitation) to a very calm state.”
She added the benefits aren’t limited to calming distressed residents. Amanda’s seen people’s entire personality shift upon hearing a song they recognize.
“You can see a whole different glow come across their face,” she said.
In other cases, she’s seen residents who had been stand-offish, become engaged through playing music. She recounted one woman who, after watching Amanda tinker with the home’s piano, began playing without the aid of sheet music.
“I didn’t know she was capable,” said Amanda. “But it was like riding a bike for her.”
‘First things in, last things out’
Evidence of the small but significant positive impact music has on people with mild cognitive impairment has been growing in recent years. According to a 2021 University of Pittsburgh study, active music making improved cognition, mood and overall quality of life.
“We are excited to see these results because participating in music, like singing in a choir or playing in a drum circle, is a safe, engaging activity that our research demonstrates can support cognition at a critical time for older adults facing cognitive decline,” said Jennie Dorris, the study’s lead author.
While the reason behind this is still under study, one possible explanation is behaviours learned early in development, like music, are more resistant to decline. They fall under what neuroscientists term procedural-memory, a concept people like Amanda, who work with dementia patients on a daily basis, are familiar with.
“I try to remind everyone ‘first things in, last things out,’” said Amanda. “It’s amazing to see how at times some individuals may not remember their loved one’s names but know every lyric to any song we play. You can always reach them through music.
Good for everyone
While the positive impact of music therapy is most pronounced in people living with dementia, seniors at all stages can benefit.
Sharon Woods-Bryenton, a program coordinator at Andrews of Stratford, makes sure to include music either directly or indirectly in her weekly activity schedule.
“It just enhances their quality of life so much,” she said. “I’ve never had anyone say they hate music.”
Sharon hosts a regular ukulele jam-session, books live performers and holds sing-alongs. She’s even added music to her fitness classes, when possible.
Her efforts have not gone unnoticed.
“I think (music) is one of the most important aspects of living in a retirement home,” said Marion Boyce, a resident at Andrews of Stratford. “Music makes you feel good, it makes you feel alive.”
Marion, a retired nurse, has been playing the violin for 88 years. A social person, she’s found the recent lockdowns and restrictions challenging. Music has been a refuge.
“Anything to do with music is an enjoyment for me,” she said. “If I couldn’t play the violin, I’d just as soon turn my up toes.”
For Sharon, that sentiment comes as no surprise.
“It just picks (the residents’) spirits up incredibly, especially right now (with COVID),” she said. “It promotes mental health, encourages them to come out and socialize and it improves their quality of life.”

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.

The eighth and final costume of "Unnatural Habits" (Season 2, Episode 12) is the triumphant return of Phryne's remarkable rooster kimono.
While it's impossible to tell which of her pajama sets Miss Fisher is wearing underneath, her rooster kimono serves as an elegant yet minimal outfit for her vulnerable talk with Jack late at night. The dressing gown itself is made of a black satin that serves as a backdrop to the intricate embroidery that adorn the shoulders and cover the back. A wide variety of threads paint a picture of a flowering tree branch going up from the hem of the kimono and reaching up to her shoulders, while two roosters battle it out in the air.
Essie Davis mentions the dressing gown specifically as her favorite item of clothing in both a video interview with Acorn TV as well as a written interview with NPR:
"I do have a favorite," she acknowledges. "Because I love the simplicity and the extraordinary detail of this beautiful black satin dressing gown that is in chinois embroidery, and on the back of it, are these two embroidered fighting cocks. And I think it is the most perfectly tongue-in-cheek piece of costume, and I love putting it on, 'cause I love the idea that there are fighting cocks." And then she cackles.
This is another item from costume designer Marion Boyce’s personal collection, and according to the Costume Exhibition Catalogue was “one of the last pieces that came out of China before they closed their trading borders in the 1920s”.
“I bought this years and years ago from a retro store, Gollyester in Los Angeles when I was doing Crocodile Dundee 3… it was the most beautiful thing I had seen. I’ve got a passion for Chinoiserie.” - Marion Boyce in the Series One Costume Exhibition Catalogue.
One of several robes designed for nightwear, this is certainly one of her most memorable ones, appearing in the very first episode, 1x01, and then showing up in 1x04, 1x06, 1x10, 2x08, before being bookended at the end of season two here.
Season 2, Episode 12 - "Unnatural Habits"
