The third costume in “Framed for Murder” (Season 2, Episode 9) is an incredible gold sequin gown Phryne wears to her movie-star party, complete with gold heels, silver earrings, and a crimson fur shawl.
The dress itself is made of a modern silk chiffon with double sequins with a tarnished gold patina to create an older, antique look. Pieces of a diamante necklace were used to add weight and stability to the back of the dress, and a tiered section of jewels were added to the front for ornamentation.
According to the Costume Exhibition Catalogue:
“This was made for Phryne to be the ‘Golden Girl’ at her Hollywood dinner party. Deep godets (triangular fabric inserts) were added to the side of the skirt so when she first appears there is a fantastic sweep as she turns around the banister.”
Phryne complements her gorgeous gown with her gold leaf headpiece, created from a series of jeweled antique brooches and black feathers, previously seen in 1x03and1x09. When she leaves the party to investigate the movie set, she brings a dark maroon faux fur shawl with aubergine highlights and a crimson silk satin lining.
She finishes her look with gold t-strap heels, a wide flower ring, and her classic metal dangling earrings.

The eighth and final outfit of “The Blood of Juana the Mad” (Season 2, Episode 8) is a fetching gold embossed velvet bolero over a green silk camisole, worn with black pants and silver heels.
Phryne’s luxurious green camisole is made of silk and has a straight neckline, with two small straps going over her shoulders. A stunning contrast with black, this camisole has been worn five times so far across both seasons, each time with either the gold and black velvet bolero with long ties around her waist (1x02,1x07, and here) or the black sweater made of a variety of crocheted patterns (1x10and2x02).
She pairs this with her trusty black silk-faille wide leg pants and her glittering silver heels from the first episode, and accessorizes with a starburst diamond brooch (the one Jane gives back at the end of 1x02), a three-layered diamond bracelet, and long oval diamond earrings.

Miss Fisher’s sixth outfit worn in “Blood of Juana the Mad” (Season 2, Episode 8) is a rich brown tweed coat, a black blouse with necktie underneath, and paired with her classic black pants, a silk scarf and a beautiful felt cloche.
Dressed for both business and action, Phryne sports an elegant full-length tweed coat made with an array of various threads in shades of brown, tan, and russet colors. It has a single wooden button at the waistline, with long lapels and a standing collar, as well as two lines of dark pink piping going down the back, and along the sides as well as lining the short belt and decorative buttons in the back as well.
Underneath she wears a v-neck black blouse with a long tie in the front, seen previously in 2x06 and in the same style as her white blouse in 2x07, as well as her silk faille black pants. She accessorizes with a pair of amber teardrop earrings, worn previously in 2x06, black gloves, dark heels, and a silk scarf with orange on one side and a matte red on the other, with long fringe on the ends.
The scarf picks up the beautiful colors of the feathered adornment on her deep pink felt cloche. The hat itself was sourced from America and features a combination of antique and modern feathers in a variety of pink, orange, and purple colors. It is decorated with a pink ribbon hatband and a gold hatpin as well.

The second outfit of “Blood of Juana the Mad” is one of Phryne’s casual yet elegant at-home ensembles, with a crocheted black sweater over a soft white blouse and silk faille pants, complete with a slim scarf and accented with a white and black carved brooch.
Her soft, possibly crepe blouse has a gentle u-neckline, with the accompanying tie looped around her throat, rather than attached and loosely knotted as seen twice in2x07. The long scarf-like strip of fabric is held together with a beautiful black and white carved floral brooch, with wide scalloped detailing along the edge.
Miss Fisher pairs this with her classic white silk faille wide-leg pants, accentuated with a dark belt buckle made of two connected circles, and wears a black detailed cardigan with crochet rosettes on top. While the belt buckle and the floral brooch are new, the rest of her outfit has appeared in some form or another earlier in the series, with her blouse showing up twicein2x07, the silk faille pants being worn in multiple episodes (twicein1x01,threetimesin1x02,twice in1x04,twicein1x05,1x08,twicein1x12,twicein2x04, and twicein2x07), and this exact sweater seen in 2x05.
A comfortable, elegant sweater is one of Phryne’s hallmarks when at home, as we’ve seen multiple black loosely knit sweaters throughout the series (1x10,2x02,2x05,2x07, here in 2x08) and a navy one in 1x13, not to mention the multiple appearances of her cream cardigan.
She finishes the look with a pair of frosted teardrop earrings, and pointed black strapped heels.

The final outfit of “Blood at the Wheel” (Season 2, Episode 7) features the reappearance of Miss Fisher’s sophisticated home ensemble of her gold beaded cocktail bolero with a wide black band of silk tying it together over her black camisole and paired with her silk faille pants and gold heels.
Her beautiful lace bolero is crafted from gold beads on a black net worked onto a floral design and is actually made of leftover fabric from Costume Designer Marion Boyce’s wedding dress. She’d always held onto the scraps and had just enough to create this cocktail bolero. Underneath, she wears her black camisole with small scalloped edging. We’ve seen this near exact outfit before in 2x02, with the addition of her banded sheer illusion blouse.
Phryne pairs this with her classic black silk faille pants, gold heels, and elegant jewelry as well. The large silver filigree necklace is an original 1920′s piece also owned by Marion Boyce, with a crystal drop pendant and small crystals in the chain of the necklace as well. It’s been seen three times so far, in 1x03and twice in1x12. Her brass swing earrings have been worn multiple times, and pick up on the metallic colors in her bolero and necklace beautifully.

The seventh ensemble Miss Fisher wears in “Blood at the Wheel” (Season 2, Episode 7) is her classic red plaid tweed jacket and skirt, along with two different red hats, and red leather gloves and purse.
Phryne’s luxurious red plaid jacket and skirt is a great example of 1920′s tailored suits for women. The fur-trimmed jacket is cut in straight lines with double-breasted buttons and a matching belt across the hips. The belt buckle itself is a brass imprint of a Pharaoh’s head set against a black background. Her knee-length plaid skirt is made of the same fabric and has two box pleats in the front.
We’ve seen this suit jacket and skirt combination twice before, in both 1x04and1x05, both worn with the red felt flower cloche she first wears in Jack’s office.
Interestingly, Miss Fisher wears two different red hats with this outfit. The first one is her red cloche with flower detailing created with both feathers and felt worn as she consults with Jack about the Adventuress’ Club records. This cloche is one of Phryne’s favorites, appearing in twicein 1x01,1x02,twice in 1x04,1x05,1x06,1x09, and here.
Her second hat, also made of a red felt, is a cloche with a bonnet-like brim that frames her face well and has three ribbons in cream, red, and black wrapping around the top of the hat, complementing the three interlocking cream, red, and black felt circles. It was worn in the opening scene of 1x05, but has changed a bit since then. In 1x05 and on Mandy Murphy Millinery’s website, it has one set of plain circles on each side of the hat. Here in 2x07, the ribbons are closer together and the ends are flared at the edges, and both sets of circles have been moved to the right side and decorated with a series of black beads across the interconnecting lines.
She accessorizes with matching red leather driving gloves and a red leather handbag, as well as her bronze triangular earrings, seen on the right side of the Costume Exhibition photo.

Miss Fisher’s sixth outfit of “Blood at the Wheel” (Season 2, Episode 7), features her classic silk cardigan with green brooch, her button-up white blouse, white pocketed pants, and black double strap heels.
When she confronts Pepper in her home again, we see Phryne still wearing her white button-up blouse with standing collar and high waisted silk faille white pants. The blouse has fitted cuffs and self-covered buttons, along with a white camisole underneath. She adds her familiar cream cardigan to transform it to a comfortable at-home outfit. This elegant cardigan was created from a length of silk rayon fabric costume designer Marion Boyce had owned for years, and only decided to cut it up when she began to design for Miss Fisher. The cream cardigan has appeared ten times so far in the series; 1x01,1x02,1x03,1x04,1x05,1x06,1x08,1x10, and twice here in 2x07.
She accessorizes with her black double-strapped heels, clear teardrop earrings, and her distinctive green sea anemone brooch. The brooch is made with tubes of ombre chiffon that allow it to float and move freely. She’s worn this eyecatching brooch four times, once before in 1x02, where she has the exact same outfit, and then twice with a silk scarf in 2x04and2x05.
