Years later Tilly, now a couturier for the Paris fashion houses, returns home to make amends with her mentally unstable mother.

But when the eccentric townsfolk turn on Tilly for a second time, she decides to teach them a lesson and exact long-overdue revenge. Packed with memorable characters, acid humour and luscious clothes, The Dressmaker is an irresistible gothic tale of small-town revenge.
