Delfina Crimp was a wizarding seamstress in the fifteenth century, famous for inventing the Severing Charm.
She was one of the most fashionable dressmaker in London at the time, and pretended to be a muggle. She was found out by a rival tailor, Snickerton, who spied on her and saw her use the Severing Charm. She was arrested by a band of men, but used the wand she had hidden as a wart on her face to escape with a large bag of gold. She was never seen again, but apparently cursed Snickerton to never complete another item of clothing.
