Allie Downs, Costume Designer and Alterations Expert, Class of 2019

Today we're catching up with Allie Downs, who graduated from our program in 2019 with a B.F.A. in Theatre Arts, Emphasis in Design and Production focusing on costume design. Allie currently owns her own alterations business, which has given her the opportunity to tailor some pretty special garments—some of which you might have even seen on TV! We talked about fashion, costume design, and all things clothing.

During this episode, Allie and I talked a lot about her work on our fall 2019 production of Little Women, which was presented in the Ford Center for the Performing Arts. To learn more about that show and get a taste of Allie's designs, check out this feature story on the musical: https://news.olemiss.edu/ole-miss-theatre-brings-little-women-big-stage/
