Prudence Mortimer: Dressmaker Character Guide

Updated

Prudence Mortimer is one of Dressmaker's ten clients: would-be duchess with a secret at home. Determined to marry Duke Hassan and deeply competitive about it. Behind the airs, her brother inherited the family estate and treats her as an unpaid maid — which she'd rather nobody found out.
