Ladies in Black, the department store is meant to be either Mark Foy's, Horden's (both defunct) or David Jones, depending on who you ask.
We also have Myer, which is the Melbourne equivalent (because everything Sydney has, Melbourne has to have its own version).
Anyway, it's a decent movie, if you like that sort of... Period fluff.
Personally, while there are some things I find... Uncomfortable, from that time period, women actually dressing in women's clothes is certainly not one of them.
While we're on this topic, there's also "The Dressmaker", but I didn't like that one anywhere near as much. It's... Brutal. Same sort of general "theme", however.
Australian movie about the exact equivalent of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladies_in_Black_(film)
