#coat repeat

The second outfit we see in "Unnatural Habits" (Season 2, Episode 12) is made up of Phryne's tan coat and hat along with a black camisole and pants, complemented with a gold printed scarf.

Miss Fisher dons her classic travel coat, with large pockets, wide collar, and five mottled brown buttons spaced out along the length of the edge. Practical yet fetching, it serves Phryne well as she sneaks into the halfway house by hiding in a basket of laundry. The sturdy khaki linen provides a method for blending in, while serving to enhance the rest of her outfit. Clearly one of Phryne's favorite pieces, this is the fifteenth appearance so far in the series, worn nine times in season one (twice in 1x02, 1x03, 1x04, 1x06, 1x08, 1x09, twice in 1x13) and six times total (2x01, 2x04, 2x06, 2x07, 2x10, 2x12) in season two.

As usually accompanies her linen coat, this is the thirteenth appearance of Miss Fisher's matching wide-brimmed linen bucket hat (twice in 1x02, 1x04, 1x06, 1x08, 1x09, 1x13, 2x02, 2x03, 2x04, 2x06, 2x07, 2x10), dyed its specific color to match Marion Boyce's "Ode to Detectives" coat.

Underneath her coat, Miss Fisher wears her black camisole with scalloped edging and classic black silk faille wide leg pants, both of which have been frequently worn to highlight her fabulous coats and jackets. She accessorizes with black onyx teardrop earrings, cream lace up oxford heels, crochet driving gloves, and a fetching printed cream silk scarf with an abstract design of reaching gold swirls, worn previously in "Murder Most Scandalous" (2x01).

For her second ensemble of “Murder in Montparnasse” (Season 1, Episode 7), Miss Fisher dons her classic day coat and a fetching white cloche to go over her blouse and skirt from the previous scene.

We can see her wearing her crepe blouse with the relaxed cowl neckline, featured often as a staple of Phryne’s closet, along with her white raw silk skirt. She accessorizes all this with her white gloves and cream oxford-style heels.

The main element of this costume is her honeycomb textured linen day coat, complete with three large mother-of-pearl buttons and a white and gray fur collar. The coat can be seen multiple times throughout the season, with appearances in 1x01, 1x03, 1x04, 1x05, this outfit, 1x09, and 2x08.

She finishes the look with a fetching white felt cloche that has a side detail of bronze period flower motifs accented with hand-painted pearlized beads.
