The Loeb Costume Collection
In 1982 Millersville University Embarked on an exciting new
venture in theater with acquisition of an extensive theatrical
costume collection that is available for rental as well for on-
campus productions.
The collection as well over 10,000 costumes was a gift to the
University from Mrs. Jean Loeb of Lancaster, a veteran
costumer of local productions. Mrs. Loeb had acquired the
extensive collection in 1975 and for several years operated a
rental service in Columbia, Pennsylvania.
The Loeb Costume Collection is largely derived from the
inventory of Wass & Son costumers of Philadelphia.
Wass & Son was well known for more than a century as one
of the leading costuming companies in the East and was
responsible for outfitting thousands of production costume
parties.
