I just realized I never posted the finished piece. I submitted it for an art exhibition and was selected! I am very excited about the exhibit and am super proud of my work.

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"
Screencaps from here, costume exhibition photos from Frock Flicks, Marion Boyce's website, and Nikki Johnson's Flickr.

Met Gala Info Post
I’m seeing a lot of people fundamentally misunderstanding the Met Gala so here we go:
The Met Gala is held the first Monday in May every year and serves as both the primary fundraiser for the Met’s Costume Institute and the opening of an exhibit, which runs for months after the Gala. The Gala raises millions of dollars for the Costume Institute every year, and completely funds it. The Costume Institute used to be separate from the Met, so they have separate budgets. 
It started in 1948, Diane Vreeland made it a society event in the 70′s and added themes, and it became a more elaborate costume-y event in the early 2000′s.
Anna Wintour has co-hosted it since 1995, and Conde Nast (Vogue’s parent company) is a sponsor, though there’s usually an additional corporate sponsor and additional famous co-chairs selected by Wintour. She has a hand in everything including the exhibit, guest list, seating arrangements, décor, performers, menu, and even what people wear.
Work on next year’s Met Gala starts on the first Tuesday in May, with the theme being one of the first issues decided on, since it needs to be coordinated with the exhibit. 
Tickets are invite-only, and cost $40,000 each. Designers, brands, and companies will often buy out tables and invite or “sponsor” attendees themselves, which often leads to celebrities being contractually obligated to wear the designer that invited them. The guest list is usually around 650-700 people total. 
Guests aren’t required to follow the theme. It’s technically not a costume ball. 
If you want to learn more, there’s a documentary called “The First Monday in May” about the history of the Met Gala and follows the planning of the 2015 “China: Through the Looking Glass” Gala

Can we get something that women in their 30s and 40s might actually like? I mean, "hey! we have disposable income now! can you make something decent enough to spend it on?" I feel like if Marvel haven't figured out that there's a market for women here too then they've been sleeping. It'd be nice to get something before I'm as old as Bernie. :/

Its #BatAppreciationDay so please appreciate this awesome 19th century Japanese kosode decorated with embroidered lucky bats, photographed in 2019 at The Life of Animals in Japanese Art exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in DC:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kosode with Bats Japan, Edo - Meiji periods, 19th century silk twill, paste-resist dyed, embroidery, 67⅜ × 48⅞ in. National Museum of Japanese History, Chiba Prefecture
“In the West, bats - nocturnal in habit and denizens of dark places tend to be viewed as unlucky, but in China they have long been considered an auspicious motif (one of the characters used to write the word "bat" is a homonym for good fortune). The Kabuki actor Ichikawa Danjüro VII (1791-1859) used bat motifs in his costumes, and the perception of these animals as a chic design element spread rapidly throughout Japan in the nineteenth century. Here a great number of them are arranged in right-left symmetry from the base of the collar to the hem.”
The above info is from the official exhibition catalog - this bat kosode is on p. 124:

The sixth and final look of "Murder Under the Mistletoe" (Season 2, Episode 13) is an eyecatching dress and cape combo made of shimmering red and gold fabric, along with a festive feather headband.
Phryne's holiday dress is made of a tarnished gold metallic lace, finely woven together, with a slip of antique maroon georgette worn underneath. It has a slightly scooped neckline and two straps over her shoulders. Adding to the luxe drama of the party, Phryne adds a beautiful capelet to her look. The capelet is a complementary floral metallic, and has fitted shoulders and wraps loosely around her neck. Her exaggerated split sleeves create movement and waft across the champagne and conversation.
She adds to her look with a feathered headband - hand dyed to match her dress, with a series of feathers set in a circle to imitate a nest, with a small bead serving as a wink at an egg. Two rosettes made from the same feathers, one slightly smaller than the other, rest on her left shoulder to accentuate the headpiece.
Miss Fisher finishes her ensemble with a brass flower ring with a jade center and gold t-strap heels, worn previously in 2x09 with her 'Golden Girl' dress.
