The hats are divine, and match the coats. Everything looks chic and the blouses and dresses are very fluid-looking. The colors used have been red, burgundy, burnt orange, brown, beige, ivory.<br /><br />I just read the Wikipedia entry on the series, and there is a section on the costumes, most of which were designed for the show, although some were purchased at vintage stores or online retailers. <br /><br />Essie Davis is wonderful as Phrynne Fisher, and she looks fantastic in every costume.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-41263055053377173962015-01-27T21:10:59.382+00:002015-01-27T21:10:59.382+00:00I think I'd only read the Berlin stories befor...I think I'd only read the Berlin stories before this.
