Edith Swan

Edith’s cards range from a sparkly interview dress to dressing as a carrot to help Fiona. Two of them count an accessory (a brooch, then feathers), so check the accessory shelf before you call those dresses finished.

Who Edith is

“But where are my manners? I'm Edith Swan.” When the name is recognised she waves it off: “I sang a song or two when I was younger, but my days on the stage are long past.” “Now I'm just Edie.” Later cards fill in the rest: an old stage look to recreate for a portrait, and evening visits to her husband’s grave.

Edith’s commissions

  1. “I am here because I have an interview with a biographer. He is writing a book about me, if you would believe it.” The brief asks for “Something with a little razzle-dazzle sparkle” and ends “Maybe make it a teensy bit risqué?” That is the Risqué 20 on the card; the brooch is a rule of its own, so add one before you finish. Delivered: “Darling, what a treat! This is just what I had in mind.”
