Newrara Doctoral Regalia Set with Hood & Tam

Arrived fast, and is great quality. Material is not cheap and it’s worth every penny

I purchased this as a faculty member to wear to graduation. Since there aren't required specific colors or styles for faculty members at my university, this worked great. Purchasing this gown/tam set is significantly cheaper than what my university bookstore was charging faculty to rent regalia for just one graduation ceremony, so this purchase was a very good investment Several other faculty members at graduation had the same or incredibly similar gowns and tams, and I was glad to fit in nicely with my colleagues. This doesn't come with the hood (I didn't expect it to - the listing is just for the gown and tam). If you don't have your original hood from graduation, be aware that you'll need to purchase that separately. The tam is good quality, adjustable, and fit my large head. The gown arrived wrinkled, but with a bit of low-heat ironing the wrinkles came out nicely. Tip: don't use a steamer to remove the wrinkles: it didn't work for me, and I also accidentally damaged a very small bit of the velvet when very hot water sprayed on the gown. The iron worked great (using fairly low heat - obviously test your iron's settings with a small area first). The only thing I don't like about this gown is that it doesn't have a button inside to secure my hood to. Instead, you'll need to use a strong safety pin or a button on your shirt.

I cannot overstate how pleasantly surprised I was when the ensemble arrived! Given that I am priced out of my college’s official doctoral wares (>$800.00 to buy or >$200.00 to rent, when all is said and done), I didn’t expect much from what I thought would be a cheap-looking knock-off alternative. I could not have been more wrong and stand very much corrected. The material is much heavier and far more voluminous than I expected (I figured it would be loosely hanging and I’ll-fitting Lycra at best). The hood is a substantial piece with the distinctive materials and patterns. Even the velvet on the gown is understated and professional. The colors really pop without looking overblown or gaudy. Since this is my first encounter with doctoral garments, I cannot attest to how it is supposed to fit, but it does feel a tad big, but not a dealbreaker. I am so appreciative to have something other than a plain black gown to wear at commencement as faculty and would HIGHLY encourage anyone to give it a worthwhile and economical try. I won’t be ashamed to sport it in a few weeks and happy to have saved hundreds of dollars when every penny counts!

I had to return this item twice. The 1st time the grown was messed up like someone had tried to iron it but the iron was too high and messed up the material. So, I returned and reordered, got that new one and it came but was the wrong color. Lastly, I sent that one back and finally the 3rd time it was perfect! I bet you wondering why did she keep ordering from them. Well, the school requires that company only. Overall the quality was good and heavy, velvet rich in color; yes it is kind of oversized but I’m get it altered at a low cost!

Great price, and every piece of the regalia looks nice. I immediately introduced this brand to my academic friends who also need a formal regalia but don't want to spend a fortune.

Great quality and gorgeous colors! Used this for a costume

The Doctoral Tam is missing in the pack, could you send me the Tam? The quality is good. I like it actually. But the missing part is so annoying. Best,

Fit perfectly. The quality is superb and the fabric/workmanship of this robe is on par with robes that I purchased that were in the $350-$500 range. I read in the reviews about others saying the robe is too large- it is NOT- these aren’t made to be form fitting. Thank you for an excellent product!

The product delivered earlier than the time frame promised. Which is COOL! The quality is super! 🙌 The size was just right, I advice you to follow just the general graduation gown size chart by your height. I’m 168 cm so I picked size 51 and its just PERFECT! 👩🏻‍🎓💃

Todo bien

Worthing each penny you spend. The color and materials are really good.

I am just so happy that the items were delivered promptly. The quality of good and items were packed neatly.
