Graduation Gown, 1993 |
Object Name |
Gown, Academic |
Description |
Graduation Gown, 1993. Black robe made of a satiny woven black material, with flared sleeves, a v-shaped neck, and a silver metal zipper running down the front. The piece of fabric that makes the collar and upper back is at least two layers thick, while the rest of the gown is only one layer and therefore lightweight. Running vertically on either side of the zipper is a rectangular strip of a fake velvety black material. On the outsides of the sleeves are three horizontal stripes of this same velvety material, their sides ending in points rather than squared-off rectangles. On the inside back of the neck is a stick-on label for Treasure Gowns. |
