Ashleigh Cummings was asked to gain weight as she was 20 years younger than Essie Davies and had a rocking’ figure during the shoot of Puberty Blues. Essie Davies had gained five pounds by the second season and Ashleigh Cummings would have outshone her. Miss Fisher in the books is closer to Ashleigh Cummings who was supposed to have a boyish wispy thin 1920s figure. In some shots, Ashleigh Cummings clothing is purposely padded and always her dresses are 1920s baggy drop waist. After Miss Fisher, Ashleigh Cummings lost the weight quickly and her face was thin again. She had been made to look frumpy on purpose. Her clothes were cut boxy. That’s Hollywood, even in Australia.
