Replying to @MarGalarrita @YasmineHachimi
Here is the question, do you imagine that you will be required to wear it more than once a year if you wear it once a year. The reason to wear it is 1. convocations and/commencement things. Or if the institution has other things requiring you to wear this costume more regularly.

And this is only if you are doing a F2F and require to sit on some stage for whatever reason and there are processions. But really, many institutions don't require attendance...

I agree with Dorothy that these are the right questions to ask. I've also heard of some people being able to charge it to their startup accounts, but that eats into research $$$, so it's not ideal.

Also for commencement is it like the most impractical thing because you will become a heat tent in it unless it is an indoor air conditioned thing. The nicer ones are in thicker fabric. The nice thing about getting it ordered is ordering it in breathable, nicer fabrics.
