Floral graduation dress in satin, mini or midi

Your aunt will take forty photos from the third row of folding chairs, and a floral graduation dress is what makes you look happy in all of them. Every print here is from our summer line. They’re off the main pages from fall until March, and that’s when you’ll want to try one on at home.

Small flowers, big family photos

Small flowers age better in photos than big bold ones. That’s the honest rule. Look at the violet sprigs on the white midi wrap, or the little roses scattered over black. In a shot with the whole family, your face still comes first.

Next to a black robe, a floral graduation dress on a light ground looks freshest. White, mint, pale blue and powder pink are all here, and there’s sunny yellow too, a sleeveless midi that gathers into ruffles around the waist. A black ground with small red or blue flowers is the quieter choice. Got a maroon robe? Hold the brown midi with tiny flowers up next to it in the mirror.

Several prints are satin with 2 % elastane. On the pink knee-length wrap that means it gives a little when you climb the stage steps. Tie it snug for the pictures. Loosen it at lunch.

For the graduate, for her mom

If you’re the one in the cap, go short. A mini wrap with ruffles on the skirt looks right under the robe and moves nicely across the stage, and a couple of styles finish the sleeves with little ties. A short floral graduation dress stays hidden under the robe until the diploma’s in your hand, and then it’s the first thing everybody sees when you take the robe off for photos.

Coming as mom? Then a midi. The pink midi with small flowers ends below the knee, and a mint midi wrap with a V-neck looks just as good at a garden lunch. Add a light cardigan for the ceremony and lose it once the sun’s out.

Wedge sandals or block heels, please. Thin heels sink into a lawn.

Frequently asked questions

Does a print look busy under a dark gown?

Not really. The robe covers most of it, and what peeks out is the neckline. A V-neck puts the flowers right by your face.

How do I size a wrap?

For a wrap, your bust measurement decides, and the belt takes care of the rest. We make XS to XL, and our M is a US 6–8.

When should I order for an end-of-year ceremony?

As soon as the summer prints are back in spring. That leaves time to try it on at home with your shoes and take a trial walk across the backyard. Leave it to the final week and you’re choosing in a rush.
