Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ordering, sizing, and wearing academic regalia.

Most of our gowns are sized by height rather than chest or waist measurements. Check the size options on each product page — we list height ranges for Standard, Petite, and Tall fits. If you're between sizes, choose the taller option for better sleeve length.
Academic hood trim colors represent the field of study — for example, white for arts, gold for science, scarlet for theology, and purple for law. The lining colors typically represent your institution. Check with your registrar's office for the correct combination before ordering.
Yes. Our choir robes and clerical attire are designed for group orders. Contact us at business@sigmacumlaude.com with your group size and requirements, and we'll help coordinate sizes and delivery timing.
Care instructions vary by fabric. Most polyester gowns are machine washable on a gentle cycle and can be hung to dry. Velvet hoods and satin stoles should be hand-washed or dry-cleaned. Always check the care label on your specific garment.
Orders are processed within 1-2 business days. Standard shipping within the United States typically takes 3-7 business days after processing. All orders ship free with no tax added at checkout.
