Marie Laroche: Dressmaker Character Guide

Updated

Marie Laroche is one of Dressmaker's ten clients: diplomat's assistant, back from abroad. Grew up in neighbouring Tulleton and spent eight years at an embassy in Charmeuse, where she picked up a taste for bright, patterned clothes. Sensible, diplomatic and a little homesick for colour.
