What size gown should I buy?
Graduation gowns are cut so they fall 8-10 inches above the floor, meaning that your ankles and shoes are visible below the gown.
Regular size gowns are normally cut with an amount of extra fabric to make them look good on students with slender to moderately heavy builds.
However, for those who would feel more comfortable with extra room in their gown, a Full Fit gown might be the best option.
