How to Dress Properly in Graduation Gown
Graduates have a lot to do when the graduation day is just around the corner. They are always so busy with all kind of things that they do not even know which is of crucial importance. When it comes to wearing a graduation gown, most graduates do not think it is important. But the fact is that, your gown will be captured in the many photos of you and you will want to look your best on your proud day. To make you look gorgeous in the prom gown, you need to follow the following steps.
The most important thing is that you need to make sure that your graduation dress is in proper size when you receive it. Make sure that you have your dress, tassel and cap. You need to choose accessories according to what type of graduation you are taking part in. College graduation gowns will come with a hood that designates the type of degree you are receiving and the honor chords or honor stoles indicate your level of grade point average or honor societies you may belong to.
The next thing you need to plan is the wear underneath your cheap ball gowns. It is important to realize that your feet will be showing from beneath your dress. Try on your outfit with your gown on top to get a feel for what it will look like. You will want to change your outfit if part of your dress sticks out from underneath the gown or if your shoes don't look appropriate. White gowns can be translucent, so you will want to avoid wearing bright colors underneath most white gowns.
What is more, you need to iron your graduation gown or your short prom dress before the big day for dresses become wrinkled during shipping which need some extra care before worn. Many graduation gowns are made from polyester and can be ironed on a very low setting. Gowns made from acetate cannot be ironed and should be dry cleaned instead.
Meanwhile, put the gown on the same way you would a jacket. Zip the gown all the way up making sure it is securely fastened at the top. Attach the academic hood to the gown with the provided loop and safety pin. The academic hood is fastened on the inside front of the gown and drapes over the head, hanging down the back of the gown.
The last but not the least, drape any honor chords and honor stoles around your neck. These chords and stoles should hang evenly in the front. You may want to place the flat stole first and a chord on top so that they lay nicely without tangling.
If you follow the suggestions I mentioned and dress properly, you will be the center of attraction.
