Miss Fisher Costume Exhibition - Rippon Lea House

This weekend, I attended the Miss Fisher Costume Exhibition at historic Rippon Lea House .  For the uninitiated, "Miss Fisher" is Phryne Fisher (Essie Davis) of the ABC's Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries , based on Kerry Greenwood's novels about an adventurous female detective living in the Jazz Age of the 1920s.
