Made from recycled materials and in line with university standards, our BA gowns are made of black "stuff" (ie black fabric other than silk) and has long, wide open sleeves like a wizard's robe.  These sleeves are slit vertically from the shoulders and caught together at the bottom of the slit. BA gowns also have "strings", which are black ribbons attached inside the shoulders. These are vestigial and barely decorative as they are not normally visible.

The BA gown is longer than undergraduate gowns, but shorter than an MA gown, falling just below the knees.

Unsure what size you need? To calculate your gown size, take your height in inches and subtract 18'' for BA-style gowns. Alternatively you check out our gown guide and size chart.
