Meet your seamstress

Emily Heath

Owner, Seamstress

I’ve loved clothes for a very long time. I love collecting them, fixing them, photographing them, and upcycling them. I grew up in Oregon, graduated with a dual degree in Apparel & Textile Design and Graphic Design from The University of Alabama and ended up in Maine. I decided to open my first alterations business called Lolita Alters in Auburn, ME in 2018 after not feeling inspired by any of the local jobs in the fashion industry.

Having always wanted to own a brick and mortar where I could offer a service and sell what I wanted, I decided now was as good of a time as any to start my own business. About 5 years later and Lolita Alters has more than exceeded my expectations. I am so happy to now be offering my services in Portland, ME where I will be specializing in wedding gowns and formal dresses.
