My thanks for all the information. I've gotten a pretty good idea of the gowns, but still don't have a good notion of the hoods. Does anyone have good pictures of their own doctoral hoods? Thanks!

hello all,
I've gotten permission to make my own cap, gown and hood for my
graduation this June.  I would like to use the Alcega scholar's robe,
or something similar.  Does anyone know of a good source for
patterns?  Thank you!
