Ritika Singh spent hundreds of hours during her senior year to create the 15-pound piece – and 38-rolls of duct tape. The goal: a scholarship from Duck Brand, the famed tape maker, which was running a contest for a $10,000 Stuck at Prom scholarship. A teen from Los Angeles eeked out a win with half the duct tape. But Singh's creation scored another honor – the dress will be in Mount Mary's digital fashion archive and on display in the university's welcome center in Notre Dame Hall throughout the fall 2023 semester.
