Emmarus

You should know that I am very passionate about dress up parties. So much fun and at the same time, serious business! I spend a lot of time debating what my costume will be and often change my mind at the last minute and come as something completely random. Like the time we had a ‘come as someone who has the same name as you’ party, and I went as a unicorn in a sparkly blue 1960s dress & faux fur. So maybe it had nothing to do with the theme, but the effort was definitely there.

It still makes me just a tiny bit mad when people don’t put any effort in (buy Josie Long‘s DVD if you relate – oh you will laugh), there’s nothing I appreciate more than someone who goes above and beyond the call of duty, and with that in mind I give you my friend Emma!

Emma, as you can see, is adept at both meticulous construction of frilly animal dresses, as well as whipping up a show stopper five minutes before the party with only cardboard and crepe paper.  A professional dressmaker & alterationist, she also works on costumes for feature films.  If any item of clothing at Lovelorn Vintage requires alterations, it will be completed by Emma’s very own hands.  I’m thrilled to have her as part of the team.
