The Dressmaker movie quotes provide the often snarky dialogue for the Australian film about a seamstress who returns to her hometown looking for revenge. Jocelyn Moorhouse directed the movie using a screenplay she and P. J. Hogan adapted from the book of the same name by Rosalie Ham. After an award-winning release in Australia, The Dressmaker opened in the United States on September 23, 2016.
In The Dressmaker, Myrtle "Tilly" Dunnage (Kate Winslet) returns to her hometown after spending many years away in the fashion industry across Europe. It doesn't take long for Tilly to use her unique dressmaking skills to help others in the town improve their wardrobes, much to the ire of the more conservative folks in town.
Though her elaborate gowns turn heads, Tilly soon realizes that everyone in town hates her for reasons she does not remember. Eventually, mother Molly (Judy Davis) explains that as a child, Tilly was accused of murdering a classmate. This opens a door that Tilly never imagined she'd open when returning home, but life only gets more complicated when she sparks up a romance with the handsome local Teddy (Liam Hemsworth).
These The Dressmaker movie quotes tell you a bit about the revenge story just as these other movie quotes give a peek into their respective films such as Storks, Snowden, Blair Witch, and Bridget Jones's Baby.
