Kellie Grengs, Loyola University New Orleans Theatre Arts Costume Director, was awarded two female dress forms for the Department's theatrical productions through a competitive grant. The forms will be used in the Costume Studio by students working on a variety of projects and classes such as Senior Thesis Designs, Costume Design Lab, Patternmaking & Construction, and more.
PGM holds a Dress Form Worldwide Educational Sponsorship Program annually. It has been nearly 30 years since PGM constructed the first PGM garment-fitting dress form and PGM continues to do what they do best - produce high quality dress forms at a price point that is cost effective. It is their goal to continue a mission of supporting fashion design schools and curriculum by selecting fashion schools and programs and donating two PGM dress forms. For more information about all of their programs, visit www.Pgmdressform.com.
The Department of Theatre Arts is thrilled to have been selected to receive the two new PGM dress forms for our program, and looks forward to years of creative endeavors with them.
