The Dressmaker | Rosalie Ham

'That Tilly Dunnage has got a nerve I tell you, turning up wearing a bold frock. She'll cause more trouble, just you wait...'
When she was only ten years old, little Tilly Dunnage was forced to leave her hometown of Dungatar in rular Australia under a black cloud of accusation.

Years later Tilly, now a couturier for the Parid fashion houses, sweeps back into town hoping to make peace with her mentally unstable mother.

But mid-century Dungatar is a small town, and small towns have long memories. At first she wins over the suspicious locals with her extraordinary dressmaking skills. But when the eccentric townsfolk turn on Tilly for a second time, she decides to teach them a lesson...

Packed with memorable characters, acid humour and luscious clothes, The Dressmaker is an irresistible gothic tale of small-town revenge.

Now a major motion picture starring Kate Winslet, Judy Davis, Liam Hemsworth and Hugo Weaving.
