Graduation Abaya

A graduation abaya should look neat under a gown and still photograph well. Our small collection focuses on clean lines and collar detail, which show at the neckline and in photos. You will find belted, lace-trim and collared styles.

Key Styles & Features of Graduation Abayas

• Collar and neckline detail: A sequin high collar, a lapel collar or a stand collar frames your face under the gown.
• Belted and shirt-style dresses: A belted striped dress with a shirt neckline stays neat under a gown.
• Structured sleeves and shoulders: An embroidered shoulder style and a structured-sleeve style add polish.
• Turtleneck styles: A turtleneck kaftan and a ruffle turtleneck dress keep the neckline simple.

How to Choose the Right Graduation Abaya

• Check your school's rules first, because some schools set rules for what goes under the gown.
• Choose smooth fabric and a neat sleeve, because gowns are wide and layered.
• Keep decoration at the collar, since the gown covers most of the outfit.

Sizing and Fit for Graduation Abayas

Look at the size chart on each product page. The AI Assistant on the product page can suggest your size too. Several styles come in sizes S to XXL, so compare your shoulder and sleeve measurements.

Try the abaya on with the gown if you can. The sleeves should not bunch, and the hem should clear your shoes.

Caring for Your Graduation Abaya

Check the care label first, because sequins, lace and pleats need gentle care. Hang the abaya after wearing, and steam lightly only if the label allows it. Avoid sitting on beaded trim for long periods.

Complete Your Look
