To wear your gown:

Wear your master gown like a coat - there are openings mid-way down the length of the sleeves for your arms.

(This is an Oxford style bachelor gown. A Cambridge style bachelor gown has openings mid-way down the sleeves for your arms).

To wear your hood:

Hold the hood out in front of you, as above, noting the neck band and button loop.

Open the hood and lift the neck band over your head.

Now the neck band is in place, you can fix the button loop to your clothing.

The hood drapes down your back. Some of the colour is exposed.

To wear your mortar board:

Find the deeper end of the cap. This deep end goes to the centre back of your head.

Place the cap over your head and pull the cap down so that it feels secure. 

The square part of the cap should sit parallel to the floor. The tassel will hang to one side of your head. Your university will determine to which side the tassel should drape.

Sizing of graduation gowns is generally determined by a person's height. This is a universal method of sizing for most ceremonial gowns as worn within Australia.

GownSizeHeight cm / ft
XS - Extra SmallSize 38147cm / 4'8 
S - SmallSize 40152 cm / 5' 

Size 42157cm / 5'2 

Size 44162 cm / 5'4 
M - MediumSize 46168 cm / 5'6 

Size 48173 cm / 5'8 

Size 50178 cm / 6'0 
L - LargeSize 52183 cm / 6' 

Size 54187 cm / 6'2 

Size 56193 cm / 6'4
XL - Extra LargeSize 58198 cm / 6'6


Gowns are intended to be loose-fitting. In Australia, gowns are typically worn open at the front over existing clothing and should be mid-to-lower-calf length. The length and drape of a robe  make a difference to the overall look, and we recommend that a longer gown will look more elegant and better fitting. For example, if you are 170 cm tall, which falls between a size 46 and size 48, go for the size 48.

Do not wear bulky clothing under an academic gown.

Sizing for headwear is head circumference about 2cm above your ears. If you don't have a tape measure, use a length of string and measure the string.

*Our soft cap mortars are slightly elasticised so there is some allowance between sizes. If you are in-between sizes, always go for the larger size.
