"Why Can't I Find Chic, Stylish Clothes That Actually Fit?" - The Story of EMROSE by Co-founder

"Why Can't I Find Chic, Stylish Clothes That Actually Fit?"
- The Story of EMROSE by Co-founder Le Khanh Van

You know that special moment when you come across a piece of clothing that captivates your heart.

The thrill as you head to the fitting room, or the anticipation as you rush to open a newly arrived package. Then, the small but sharp disappointment that comes the moment you stand in front of the mirror.

"Somehow, it just doesn't look right... It must not be for me."

This was a frustration that Le Khanh Van, co-founder and fashion designer of EMROSE, knew all too well.

As a 5'0" (153cm) woman, her journey to create clothes for herself—and for all petite women who share the same struggle—began with a deep love for fashion and a personal history of continuous compromise.

EMROSE is a brand born from that very feeling.

The Gap Between Ideal and Reality: The "S-Size" Contradiction

I have always loved a style that is chic and sophisticated.

However, whenever I searched for clothing, I found myself facing a frustrating reality. I would find a dress in my ideal style, see the "S-Size" label with a sense of relief, and try it on. But the sleeves would be too long, or the waistline would sit at an unnaturally low spot. With long-length items, especially, even if I had them hemmed, the entire balance of the piece would be thrown off. It was impossible to achieve the ideal silhouette I had seen on the model.

"The style I love" and "the size that fits my body."

Finding a single garment that satisfied both of these was incredibly difficult. Fashion is supposed to be joyful, but at some point, it had become a "search for the best compromise" for me.

"I Will Make the Clothes I Truly Want to Wear" - The Decision Forged in My Mother's Atelier

"I have to stop compromising.
I will create the clothes I truly want to wear with my own hands.
And in doing so, I will empower other petite women who surely face the same challenges."

Behind this resolution was the influence of my mother.

For many years, my mother has poured her passion into her work in bespoke tailoring, creating custom garments for each individual client. In her atelier, pieces that make a person's body look its most beautiful are born from adjustments down to the millimeter.

I had the knowledge of fashion design. And I had the environment to bring the highest quality to life, with a deep understanding of clothing construction inherited from my mother. When these two worlds connected, my years of frustration transformed into a powerful passion to create a new brand.

The EMROSE Philosophy: The Genuine Confidence That Comes from a Perfect Fit

EMROSE is not just another fashion brand for petite women.

Our goal is to realize a value that is self-evident yet often forgotten: "Clothes should be made to fit the person, not the other way around." We are particularly obsessed with the waistline and the length. Just a few centimeters of difference here can dramatically change the entire impression. Together with a team of skilled artisans, we obsess over these small differences, pursuing patterns that make a petite woman's body look its most beautiful.

When you wear a piece of clothing that fits you perfectly, you naturally stand taller, and your expression brightens. The feeling that is born in that moment is what we want to deliver most of all: Confidence. We want EMROSE clothing to be the beautiful vessel that helps draw out that confidence.

To Petite Women Everywhere Who Share This Struggle: We Deliver an Experience Called Confidence

Our approach to making clothes is deeply rooted in the philosophy of bespoke tailoring. In every cut, in every stitch, we embed our wish that the wearer's day will be a brilliant one.

Have you ever bought an "S-size" garment, only to find it's too long and looks completely different from how you imagined?

EMROSE is a brand for you.

The journey to find clothes that fit you is a journey to discover the true beauty you possess. It is my sincere hope that EMROSE will be the first piece that helps you become the protagonist of your own story.
