Robin, I purchased 2 Ph.D. gowns at local thrift stores this year. Both were in perfect condition - dark blue with 3 blue velvet stripes on the arms. I live in the S.F. Bay Area and I am always on the lookout for them. I just sold one to a colleague for $25- (O.K. so I made a little profit...)and kept the other one for myself (an upgrade). I see that you live in the Boston area - Ph.D. gowns may appear in your local thrift stores as well. Happy Hunting. Let you fingers do the walking and call around.

I will be attending commencement this year, because I will be graduating with my PhD (after 7 long years). I was shocked at the price of regalia. ($70 or so to rent, about $700 to buy!) Does anyone know of a good Butterick pattern? I've got sewing machine ... (Heck, I could start a cottage industry whipping up robes and pay off my student loans.)
