Costume designer Marion Boyce talks about one of the central themes of The Dressmaker (directed by Jocelyn Moorhouse in 2015) being the use of fashion as a weapon for Tilly's revenge.

The dresses she creates for the people of the town of Dungatar are used by Tilly (Kate Winslet) as a bargaining tool for information as she desperately seeks the truth about the past.

Marion Boyce is an award-winning costume designer, exhibition curator and vintage specialist. She won AACTA Awards for her work on Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2013) and The Dressmaker (2015).
