An exhibition featuring more than 50 garments designed for the ABC TV series by award-winning costume designer Marion Boyce has opened at Brisbane's Old Government House in the QUT precinct.
She said she found it refreshing to work on a period piece from the 1920s that was not about gangsters and molls.
"Phryne herself was such a fantastic creature: flamboyant, maverick, bohemian, well-dressed and completely outrageous, which was irresistible," Boyce said.
