Depends how good your 1. design skills are (you will probably need to make a pattern to follow if you can't find one in the shops or on the internet), 2. sewing skills are 3. how much time you have to spare.... I am assuming that you already have some skill in this sort of thing....Alternatively ( and this would be my option because I find threading the sewing machine properly a bit of a problem) Buy all the material, pattern and thread and get someone else to run it up....!!

By graduation gown do you mean your dress or the academic robe and mortarboard bit? If its the robe and mortarboard bit then you will need to ask your school.

Good point Woofgang....just assumed a frock was meant by gown!

The coloured parts of academic gowns are indicative of the subject the person has graduated from, so I can't see a personalised one being approved.

You've posted on a UK-based site but the content of your post (and its timing) suggest that you're in the USA. We don't have 'graduations' from schools here in UK (only from universities), so people here won't be familiar with the ceremonies that you're referring to.

However our university graduation ceremonies are founded around 'tradition' and 'uniformity', with it being seen as important that the robes worn by graduates today are identical to those worn by people who graduated from the same institutions several centuries ago. 'Fashion' most certainly never comes into it.

I suspect that US high schools will also value the concept of 'tradition' in graduation ceremonies, so 'individualism' would be frowned upon on such occasions.
