Measuring Guides

Your chest size determines the body size of the graduation gown.  We will allocate an appropriate gown based on these measurements.

How to measure your chest:

You will need a tape measure

Measure from under the arms

Hold the tape measure firmly but not too tight

Measure all the way around from the fullest part of your bust/chest

Record your bust/chest in centimeters

Note:  The graduation cap is one size so it will be suitable for all.
