This gown was purchased for graduation at Chapman University. However, the color and simple design can be applicable for many different academic institutions! Very lightweight, the fabric does not feel expensive, however this was purchased directly from their trusted source. So it is the same quality as supplied by the university. Can be used for Graduation, or even Halloween (Honorable Judge, Graduate, Pastor, Choir Singer)! It is shin length (ankles exposed) on me standing at 5’7. Only worn one time, and has been loved and cherished ever since. Hoping it finds a good home with another rising star!
