Lucy Schmadeke Be Like Emma Dress Resale

Lucy Schmadeke founder of Be Like Emma Dress Resale

What inspired you to launch your organization? 

I knew I wanted to continue Emma's legacy, but I wasn't sure how. Inspired by stories I heard from my friends and some on the internet, I knew combining my love of fashion and Emma's legacy would be a great way to start a new charity in Springfield.

What is your passion?

I hope everyone gets the dress of their dreams from my sale. No one should be unable to attend a school dance because they don't have a dress.

How do you start your day? 

The first thing I always do is look at my planner for my day's schedule.

Favorite local businesses?

Wild Rose, which is in downtown Springfield.

What do you deem success in business?

I can make just one person smile and be happy with a dress from my sale.

What is your number one piece of advice for business owners? 

Don't be afraid to start your business because no sale is too small.
