Graduation
Dresses
Graduation photographs outlive the degree. We make dresses that sit properly under an academic gown, read cleanly in the hooding photograph, and stand on their own once the robe comes off for the family lunch or the evening celebration.
How it's made
The trick with graduation dressing is the neckline and shoulder line: it has to look considered with a gown and hood layered over it, then look intentional without them. We cut for both states and test the layered look at fitting.
