Cap and Gown Sets

Our Cap and Gown Sets...
are made of a 100% polyester fabric which comes in 14 lustrous colors and has the look of more expensive fabrics. While it is possible to find very inexpensive caps and gowns made from cheaper and thinner fabrics such as acetate, cotton blends or lower grade polyesters (like a Halloween costume), we do not believe you would be satisfied with them. This fabric is much nicer looking and less "see-through" than lower grade polyesters or cotton blends.

It is important to us to offer you a fabric that is washable and very durable. It will serve your family through multiple graduations, if you choose to reuse it. A number of our customers and homeschool group leaders have complimented the quality of the construction on these gowns, as well. They are made in the U.S.A. and are neither a "matte" finish nor a "super shiny" finish. We have avoided carrying those with an extremely shiny, "coated" finish because they seem to "snag" so easily. Our cap and gown sets have quite a bit of sheen, as shown, but are also quite durable. We feel they are a nice product for a reasonable price.

Labeling and Care:
Not too long ago, our supplier changed their label. The label now reads "Single use; washing or dry cleaning not recommended." The cap and gown is the same set that we have been selling for 6 years and has not changed at all, but this labeling is now very common industry-wide, to discourage schools from reusing the gowns. Polyester is a completely washable fabric, and the seams are overcast (serged) to help prevent raveling. We've washed these gowns ourselves a number of times with no problems, and the feedback from customers on the durability and washability has been very positive. We recommend that you hand wash in cool water and hang to dry. The caps, however, are NOT washable or dry-cleanable.

Ironing Instructions for the Gown:
Use your iron's lowest heat setting (the setting for synthetic fabric or polyester), and test a small area first to be sure that the iron is not too hot. An iron that is too hot will melt the fabric. We have had best results by ironing from the inside of the gown. (Turn it inside-out first.) To store for future use, be sure to wash before storing. Once gown is completely dry, store away from light in an area with good ventilation.

White looks nice with a gold honor stole and a gold tassel. You can also add some color by using any of the tassel colors that are combined with white, like the rose and white, or gold and white. This is a popular color for girls, especially in a group graduation where the boys are wearing a dark or bright color. Be sure to wear white or light colored clothes beneath the white gowns because there is some show-through with polyester.

Because purple is a very difficult color to display correctly, your computer's monitor might make the gown in the photo look "blue" or it might look "pink," but our purple is neither! It is a true, royal purple, appropriate for both male and female graduates.

Size chart for gowns:

Height chart for sizing on gowns:
Height	Size	Full Fit suggested if...
4' 9" to 4' 11"	42	over 135 lb.
5'0" to 5"2"	45	over 165 lb.
5'3" to 5'5"	48	over 195 lb.
5'6" to 5'8"	51	over 225 lb.
5'9" to 5'11"	54	over 255 lb.
6'0" to 6'2"	57	over 295 lb.
6'3" to 6'5"	60	over 300 lb.
6'6" to 6'8"	63	over 300 lb.

Sizing the Gown:

Gowns are cut so they fall 8 to 10 inches from the floor. If a longer gown or sleeve length is desired, order one size larger than what would be normal for your height. Be sure to measure the student's height with the shoes they will wear for the ceremony. The size listed is the actual length of the gown from the back neck to the hem.

Determine whether you need a Regular fit
or a Full fit gown:

Regular size gowns have a fair amount of extra fabric and are sized to look good on those with slender to moderately heavy builds. All others should order a full fit gown, an additional $5.00. We recommend the full fit gown if the student's weight is over the range shown for their height.Young men who are broad-shouldered may also find that they need the “full fit” gown even if their weight is not over that shown on the chart.

Caps are not sized:

The caps have small elastic panels on the sides which allow them to work with any head size. We do not require a head measurement, only a gown size.
