Lady Vivian Duskbourne: Dressmaker Character Guide

Updated

Lady Vivian Duskbourne is one of Dressmaker's ten clients: night owl with expensive taste. Elegant, nocturnal and faintly menacing — the shop cat won't go near her, and her achievement is called Good Girl Gone Vlad. She pays well and loves velvet.
