Edith Swan: Dressmaker Character Guide

Updated

Edith Swan is one of Dressmaker's ten clients: retired stage singer. A former star of the stage who insists she's “just Edie” now. A biographer is writing her life story, and her cards revisit her past — an old stage costume, her favourite romance author, and evening visits to her late husband's grave.
