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.

Whilst originally serving as the casual termination of a cord to prevent unravelling, over time the tassel’s main purpose has become ornamental and symbolic. Indeed, in the 16th century, the Guild of Passementiers was established in France to promote the art of passementerie (tassel making) and this tradition continues today with tassels being widely used in Academia.
