How to choose the perfect graduation cap & gown size?


The most important thing is to keep in mind the desired length. The usual is middle calf high. To determine the height, it should be measured from the top of the head to the toes, always in feet and inches, and with shoes on. During the measurements, the person should be standing straight, looking at the front. 


For the width, remember that gowns usually have a little extra fabric. 


The gown should allow the person to move freely and be comfortable (the garment should be worn during the whole ceremony).

The sleeves are important too. They should be below the elbow but above the hands.


Graduation caps are available in two sizes: a Youth size, designed to fit very small children (ideal for kindergarteners), and a Standard Adult size cap suitable for all other grade levels as well as adults. Both cap sizes feature elastic bands, allowing them to comfortably adjust to a range of head sizes.

Hopefully, this little advice will help choose the right size for the special day.
