Graduation Stoles
Add that finishing touch to your graduation day outfit with our stunning range of coloured graduation stoles!
Available in 13 colours, our stoles are designed to fall beautifully and securely across the shoulders and are finished in the highest quality satin material.
Hat sizes
Please measure your head circumference before choosing a fitted hat, bonnet or cap
This can be done by measuring around your head approximately 2" (5cms) above your eyebrows.
If in between sizes, it is always advisable to choose a size higher and leave yourself a little bit of room to breathe!
Adult Gown Sizes
Please choose a gown based upon your overall standing height. For example, if you are 5'5 (167cms) tall and of average stature, please chose the gown that is for someone of 5'3-5'6 (161cm-170cm).
If you are of a broader stature, please bear in mind that the bottom hem of the gown will sit a little higher as there is more fabric required to cover the body. Therefore, you may wish to choose a height increment above your standing height.
This guidance mainly applies to female wearers, who wear a dress size 18 (bust size 44') or over.

The word “stole” is derived from the Latin-Greek word “stola,” meaning garment. An academic stole is a scarf-like garment worn over the shoulders usually denoting membership of a faculty.
The colour of the stole can either mean the general colour for Degree, Diploma or Certificate graduates, or it can mean the Faculty of the award, e.g. dark blue might mean that the graduate has been awarded a Diploma or Certificate in the Arts Faculty.
Our stoles are designed to fall beautifully without the need to keep adjusting and are finished in the highest quality material. They can be printed or embroidered should you wish to add your school or institutions’ crest, please see our alternative product listing for this option, or get in touch with us at sales@ashington-gowns.com with any specific requirements.
