Most schools require that you order a cap and gown to ensure you receive one that will fit you correctly. It should be done from shoulder to shoulder tip to tip. In addition you can order what size of cap you need to fit on your head. This requires that you provide both height and weight measurements when ordering to ensure that the gown isnt too long and fits around you comfortably. Measure the total length from your head all the way to the ground with your shoes on. Measure you shoulder length.
We want your cap gown to fit you properly. This should be the weight taken with your casual clothes on. Record your weight in pounds. Have your height taken. Gowns have a generous cut and are sized so that they fall 8 to 10 inches from the floor. Caps are one size fits all.
What measurements do you need to order my cap gown. When and where will i pick up my order. Below is a chart we use internally for graduation gown sizes. Be sure to measure the students height with the shoes they will wear for the ceremony. Graduation gowns have long sleeves so dont forget to measure the sleeve length. Full fit gowns accommodate up to an additional 120 lbs.
Orders will be delivered to the school and will be distributed in early. This information is kept confidential and ensures a proper fit. The use of this chart is not generally required for our cap and gown customers as the final robe size for each measurement is for our purposes only. Gowns larger than full fit should be ordered by height only and noted as a double full fit. We need your gender height and weight. It is height and weight based sizing and we match it to our internal length sizing.
