Customer Reviews

PHinisheD Gown makes a FANTASTIC product. They also contacted me directly to make sure I was getting the best deal in a timely fashion.

Good quality robe and fits nicely. Gets the job done…

Thank you for the custom doctoral hood. The colors matched my university's very well and, more importantly, it is a very high quality hood and it reminds me how this regalia was actually standard dress for faculty once upon a time. I purchased my gown, hood, and tam from Phinished and can imagine how these garments could be daily garb. Thank you for the care you put in to tailoring this regalia and appreciating the work we put in to Phinishing these degrees.

I ordered a gown for the University of Notre Dame - since someone had done this previously, they already had the school emblems that go on the front panels. (If you're also at ND, you'll want to order the gown with embroidery, and 8-sided tam. I believe colors are royal blue and gold). I can't verify that the gown is identical to the official one because I live elsewhere and am not attending commencement, but it looks and feels great. Way better deal than going through the university. They can be a bit slow over email, but once they respond, customer service is excellent.

These are excellent. The robe has buttons exactly where it is convenient for making everything hang properly. Love the pockets. Very fairly priced in comparison to other comparable robes (similar fabrics etc) and of comparable, if not better, quality. Regalia is a big, complicated, bulky garment - these hang nicely, the fabric feels nice, and they have nice finishing touches. Everything arrived well before graduation

Team was very communicative throughout the process and the final product looks terrific! Love that there are pockets :)

I had ordered the doctoral regalia so that I could participate in proper attire at the graduation ceremonies at my current institution. I am very happy with the PhinishedD gown. More importantly, the team rushed the delivery when things were running late so that I could get the regalia in time for the commencement ceremony in May. Thank you!

Thank you to the PhinisheD Gown team! My order arrived early and I love it! It was quite the journey getting finished with my doctorate- I appreciate this team for being one the final (and most important) steps!

Amazing job.

I was hesitant to get the custom regalia from a company other than the one contracted with the University. The new regalia is an unusual color and I specified the color on the order. It is a "olivey" shade of hunter green. Instead of contacting me when they didn't have the color, they made it in Emerald Green, which is definitely not right. Hunter green would have been close enough, but not emerald green. I had sent them pictures of the regalia as well, which was clearly not emerald. I tried to give them as much instruction as possible and they had my contact info if they had any questions. The quality of the regalia is beautiful, but I'm going to feel a bit embarrassed wearing it to commencement. At least I am faculty and won't be sitting next to numerous other people in the correct color.

I ordered a custom cap and gown set, and the finished product is beautifully crafted. They communicated well throughout the process, and shipping was fast. The order was delivered a few days early!

I am so pleased with my regalia — the materials and craft are beautiful and thoughtful. Beyond that, I specifically appreciate that it correctly fits my narrow shoulders without making it look like I’m a child playing dress-up (in the world of doctoral regalia this is a rarer quality than I previously knew, at least if you’re a petite woman!). I recommend PhinisheD highly. Thank you so much!

It was a great experience! Thank you so much!

The regalia offered by Phinished Gown is beyond compare. For a fraction of the price offered by other robe makers, they were able to deliver on their promise of high quality regalia. Mine was Custom made because of specific requests and Nol accomodated all, patiently. Will definitely recommend to colleagues and friends…

I ordered the custom regalia set for the University of North Carolina. It shipped just over a month after I ordered it. It is well-constructed, and all the details--down to the cording, braids, and embroidery--are spot on. And all for less than half the cost of the standard vendor!

PhinisheD Gown reached out several times after I ordered to confirm details, including sending sample pictures. The gown arrived last week and it is fantastic. Fits well, colors and quality are great, and I am so glad to finally have pockets in my regalia. Thanks - great company!

Great service and excellent quality! Very reasonably priced and comes with a garment bag that is very useful for storage. Quite happy with the product and service!

I received my regalia today and it's beautiful! They took care of every detail that I asked for and the price was much lower than I saw on other websites. Time from order to receipt was 8 weeks. Just plan ahead (order early) and you'll be pleased with the product.

Great service and excellent quality. And about 40% less from the competition price. I cannot wait to wear it at my next graduation ceremony!

I’m bigger than the average bear so I needed something custom. They came through in spades. They even accommodated a last minute update to the hood colors and still shipped on time. Great team!

PhinisheD Gown worked well with me in figuring out my size, colors, and getting the beautiful cap and gown to me in an expeditious manner. Thanks!

PhinisheD Gown did a really great job in making the gown for my PhD graduation. Everything was professionally done in a timely manner at a great low price 👍👍👍

Received my regalia order yesterday- I had high hopes, and they were exceeded! Beautiful, classy- and the beret is amazing, too! Can’t wait to wear this at my next faculty event. Thank you, PhinisheD Gown!

I ordered a custom open design gown for my regalia for UC. The quality is beyond amazing and the gown fits perfect based of the measurements. The cap and hood are also gorgeous material and quality. I can’t wait to wear it at graduation and I’m the future!

For my hooding, I rented the official regalia, but as a new faculty member I needed my own to wear a few times a year. I’m so glad I went with PhinisheD! The regalia arrived today, and I couldn’t be more pleased. The quality is better than the official regalia—the fabric is lighter and nicer to wear, the tam is overall just nicer with an attractive tassel and an option to adjust the size, and that’s not even to mention the pockets, which are wonderful. The gown even has the embroidered badges for my university—which I wasn’t expecting from an unofficial source. I don’t know if they’re able to do it for all institutions, but it was a lovely surprise! I’m so grateful to be able to spend a bit less and get a better gown—it would be worth it at a higher price. I’ll definitely be recommending to others!

Good quality, delivered on time

When I graduated with my PhD, my university didn’t give us the option of purchasing our regalia. I bought my regalia from PhinisheD Gown after earning a faculty position to wear to convocation and graduation ceremonies. Wearing this tam, gown, and hood feels 10x better than any other regalia I’ve worn! Oh, AND THE POCKETS ARE EVERYTHING!!! <3

Everything is top notch and very well made. Highly recommend.

Due to COVID, I didn’t get the chance to walk for my doctoral graduation. This was a gift from my parents and the custom PSU doctoral gown came out perfect! Every detail was immaculate and the fabric and embroidery was high quality. Highly recommend!

Admittedly, the ease in ordering online--and putting my other requests in a list on the comment box--made me nervous that I just donating a lot of money to just a costume. However, the surprisingly small box arrived over a week early, and I pulled out a beautiful (and unwrinkled!) gown, hood, and tam. The gown was protected in a bag and with a hanger. It wears very well--and it looks better than I thought it would. Each year, I've paid about 20% of the cost for renting regalia--I should have bought this years ago! I love love love that there are pockets!

The gown is excellent. There were facial masks in the pockets, which came as a pleasant surprise in this difficult time. Very happy.

When I received my doctoral regalia from my school I was seriously disappointed. Cheaply made and I felt after my years of hard work getting my PhD I deserved to wear something that looked as good as I felt. So, I searched the web and found Phinished Gown and read their reviews...all good, so I chose to have them make mine. They did not disappoint! Jane was attentive and made sure that I got exactly what I ordered. When I opened up the package I almost cried...well, I did when I put it on. The materials used are so beautiful and it just looks and feels so good. I can't say enough about it. So happy I chose to order from them.

Good as expected

After learning about Phinished Gown through Reddit, I emailed Jane with a tall order: could it be possible to create a gown that fits both me at 5'4" and my husband at 6'0" since we both earned our PhDs from the same institution? She guided us by providing precise measurements for each of the Phinished Gown sizes, so we ordered one and hoped for the best. They were very receptive to feedback I had when we received the proof, and they were quick to correct a miscommunication we had about the ordering process. As for the gown, it magically looks great on both of us! Regarding the match to our university's official regalia at my graduation ceremony, there were some differences in the fabric type and color of the gown, the style of the piping, and the tam's tassel. However, I much preferred the overall look and fit of our Phinished Gown set, and the differences will be negligible when my husband uses as a faculty member at a different college. The pockets are a HUGE plus, too.

Overall, I would highly recommend Phinished Gown for your regalia needs. The product is high quality and the service is exceptional. I received many compliments, and for a savings of a few hundred dollars, I did not feel like we had received a bargain product at all. Thank you so much for making my Penn State regalia dreams come true!!

I decided to purchase my regalia this year, as the rental regalia provided at my current institution for faculty/staff participating in commencement is of the generic black type, and I very much wanted to wear my alma mater's colors - but the price of the "official" regalia was far too high! I was similarly hesitant to purchase "unofficial" regalia, since it can be hard to tell how good it would come out. Phinished Gown was recommended to me by one of my old classmates, who purchased a set for her new faculty job, and said it was outstanding. So I decided to go for it, and I couldn't be happier that I did. Jane took great care at making sure to have enough photos to be able to color match the custom set with our official regalia, and it came out very close - a bit lighter in color, but I actually much prefer it. The gown is perfectly tailored and is a nice fabric texture, and as others have written, it has pockets, a great feature. I received many compliments from other marshals at our commencement ceremony this year! Thanks for the amazing regalia, which I look forward to wearing for many years!

I was a bit hesitant to custom order the PhD set for the University of Washington. I was concerned the quality would not be as good or that there would be slight differences. I was wrong. I received a high quality, beautiful set that is identical to what I rented when I graduated a few years ago. The packaging was professional (they include a nice cover to keep the set protected and clean). I am very impressed especially because the price cannot be beat. Some places ask for ridiculous amounts. Not here. They are fair and deliver a high quality product. I highly recommend them and will share my experience with my colleagues. Almost forgot: they met the deadline and I received the set one week prior to attending my students’ graduation. Thank you!

PhinisheD Gown did not disappoint! My doctoral regalia was perfect and arrived before the expected delivery date. Even with a last minute order, the customer service was quick and efficient and the quality of my regalia was top-notch (at half the price!).

Through initial shock in the total costs of custom regalia from by University ($1,100), I was informed by a colleague/recent graduate that she used Phinished Gown the previous year and was 100% pleased. Reluctantly, I filled out the custom gown form, Jane and Nok did NOT disappoint! They ensured that the proof fo the gown was exactly what I wanted and matched my University's regalia for nearly half the price. Though the color is a bit lighter, the material is clearly high quality and the tam and hoods are quite beautiful! And most importantly...it has pockets!! I highly recommend Phinished Gown to anyone who wants to save money, but not on quality for their doctoral gown!

Fantastic! Great quality, thank you for stellar work.

Thank you. You are the best

Excellent customer attention

I had ordered a custom-sized PhD set and the folks at PhinisheD Gown reached out and confirmed I was fine with a standard sized product, saving me hundreds. That's great service. And Gown/Regalia look great. Thanks!

The gown looked great at graduation events this week! Thank you so much for doing an excellent job with it! It is extremely professionally made, and accurate to the school's regalia. Attached is a picture. Thanks again!

" Jane, I want to let you know that I received my gown this morning and it looks so elegant! Thank you for accommodating my order and producing such a high quality regalia with very perfect details! I really could not describe my admiration for everything about it!! Many thanks for making this life experience such a beautiful experience.

Academic Dress

Overview of academic dress.

The origins of today’s academic dress including the robe, hood and classical cap trace back to the first universities in medieval times. Students wore long, sober clothing reflecting their status in society and identifying them as scholars.Whilst fashions changed, the sense of purpose and propriety evoked by formal academic dress along with practicalities of marking students out in a crowd ensured that the traditional garments were kept.

Many Oxbridge colleges, schools and some ecclesiastical services still use the gown and hood, however it is more commonly seen at degree ceremonies.

“Ede & Ravenscroft continues to supply academic dress to institutions around the world combining an attention to historical detail with a modern touch.”

Please book your graduation outfit at least 21 days before your Ceremony.

What our Customers say…

Jayne is so very helpful and accommodating! She provided a bespoke set of doctoral robes which look exquisite! The quality of material was very good, the stitching was so neat and perfect, the fit is great as well. And she sent everything so very quickly as I needed it in a rush. Highly recommend

Wow. I just received my Leicester PhD gown and it is perfect. Jayne has obviously taken great care with the intricate cut and design and I am completely satisfied. Superb customer service too.

In a word, exceptional. Despite being on the other side of the world, the ease of communication was outstanding, and I felt heard and understood when it came to the specifics of my request. Ultimately this has led to delivery of a finished product that is of rare quality and whose wearers are extremely proud. Highly recommended without hesitation.

Recently Jayne has made a doctoral toga for me. The craftsmanship of her work is outstanding: attention to detail, meticulous stitching, and a perfect fit… I highly recommend Jayne to anyone in need of a custom-made garment, especially for special occasions. Her skill and dedication truly shine through in her work.

I recently asked jayne to make a hood for my daughter graduation which I received today 27th of April via special delivery it is absolutely lovely and good quality would recommend jayne for your graduation attire thank you so much jayne. keep up the good work from a very proud mum of kacey gale who will have the honour of wearing it.

I commissioned Jayne to make my Royal College of Music robes, and the results are absolutely stunning. She was a pleasure to work with, and her commitment to create exactly what was needed resulted in a beautiful set, far superior to anything else I own.

Jayne recently created a stunning PhD robe for me from Canterbury Christ Church University. Her work is of superlative quality. She even took the trouble to research and have created the correct embossed satin to complete the commission with accuracy.

I commissioned Jayne to make me a University of Bristol, Theology PhD hood for use as clergy choir dress. I am really pleased with the result and have already worn it twice and received very positive comments. I highly recommend Jayne and would certainly use her creative services again. Many thanks.

Graduation Ceremonies

Gowning and photography

Please note gown hire and pre-booking photography packages via Ede and Ravenscroft's website is now available to all those who have been awarded and successfully registered. 

Our graduation ceremonies are formal occasions and graduands should dress accordingly. Gowns can be hired from Ede and Ravenscroft via their website . Only those who successfully reserve a seat in Symphony Hall (information regarding reserving seats will be included in your invitation due to be issued in October) will be uploaded onto their system as a way to ensure you hire the correct gown.

Once you have accessed their website, please enter Birmingham City University as your institution and then enter your student ID number, surname and email address. Please enter your student ID number WITHOUT the ‘S’ prefix e.g. 19876543 when accessing the site.

Your specific ceremony and gown details should then be retrieved and once you have entered all the required information and made payment, you will receive a Confirmation of Order email to your preferred email address. Your confirmation email will contain a QR code which will then be scanned by Ede and Ravenscroft for them to retrieve your gown on the day of your ceremony.

We recommend you hire your gown ahead of your ceremony and before the hiring deadline  Friday 5 July 2024 . There may be an opportunity to rent on the day, please note this may be recycled from a previous ceremonies that day, is subject to availability and will incur an increase in price.

If you are having trouble logging-in to the Ede and Ravenscroft site once bookings open from Tuesday 28 May 2024, please contact  [email protected] in the first instance so we can check your access details. In some instances, we may need to refer you to their dedicated  Customer Service team if we are unable to resolve your query.

On the day of your ceremony, please remember to:  

• bring your gown hire reference number and a form of identification in order to collect your gown  
• wear smart business attire (e.g. what you would wear for a job interview)  
• wear a shirt or fitted blouse with buttons so that the gown can be easily secured to your clothing  
• wear shoes in which you will feel comfortable climbing up/down steps and walking across a large stage  

Gowns are to be returned before you leave the Symphony Hall and ICC premises, unless you have arranged an extended hire in advance, in order to avoid any potential charges.
