Gown Care:
Graduation gowns are 100% polyester and should NOT be washed or dry cleaned. They may be gently spot washed by hand, only if absolutely necessary. Gowns should be stored on a clothes hanger in a spacious area to release the wrinkles. If necessary, they can be steamed on low heat. Do NOT iron gowns as this may damage them.

Please Note:
Wear gowns only for Baccalaureate service. Leave cap and tassel at home. Clothing under gowns should be appropriate for a religious service. At the conclusion of the service, gowns should be removed and placed on a clothes hanger in your vehicle so they don’t get food stains on them and so you don’t leave them behind. Seniors are responsible for making sure their gowns do not get dirty or damaged.
