Known for his love of period tailoring and his meticulous craftsmanship, Jack pours his heart into every garment he creates. We’re proud to celebrate his incredible achievement and grateful for the legacy he continues to build with us every day.

With today’s New York Times article highlighting Dolly Parton’s new stage show, we’re taking a moment to celebrate our long history with the queen herself.

Over the years, Western Costume’s own Tzetzi Ganev made many of Dolly’s unforgettable stage costumes, including the one in this fitting photo, as well as costumes for NINE TO FIVE (1980) and STEEL MAGNOLIAS (1989). As Head of our Ladies’ Workroom for decades, Tzetzi and her team at Western helped bring Dolly’s sparkle to life, one sequin at a time.

Swipe to see another little piece of Dolly history – one of Tzetzi’s original order sheets from STEEL MAGNOLIAS.

Every hanger in our aisles and every hemline in our workroom tells a story, not just of Hollywood history, but of union craftsmanship. We’ve been a proud union signatory since 1944, and we will always stand by our union kin. Thank you for supporting the houses that support union work!
