- airstrike 5mo agoWouldn't the purchase option be priced at a multiple to the rental?
- xboxnolifes 5mo agoOP paid $94 to rent their gown. I'm pretty sure I paid less than that (if not a comparable price) to buy mine. Thank god it wasn't multiple more, I only wore it for 5 minutes for a picture, since I graduated during Covid.
- bigstrat2003 5mo agoYeah, there was no option to rent at my school. I purchased those things, not that I'll ever use them again.
- dotancohen 5mo agoCan't you sell it used to the next graduating class?
- wolpoli 5mo agoAt my school, I purchased my cap but rented the gown. The cap is in a box never to be looked at again. I can't imagine what I would do with the gown.
- shermantanktop 5mo agoIt’s not just for graduations! You can wear it at any gown-appropriate event! Marriages, graduations and funerals carry forward some traditions that haven’t made sense for generations. They are the irregular verbs of modern life. Interestingly, marriages and funerals often have a religious element, and religion itself is conservative—but graduation doesn’t have that excuse.
- RealityVoid 5mo agoCan you? I mean, you _can_ but you really can't. Showing up at a marriage or funeral in one would be... weird to say the least.
- airstrike 5mo agoWhat a brilliant idea! I'll make sure to include in my will arrangements for everyone to easily be able to rent graduation gowns. It should make for a happier event
