Robin: I don't think you need a pattern; most of the ones I rent fit HORRIBLY--all you need is lots and lots of really cheap black synthetic fabric and cheap velveteen--don't get the real velvet stuff--it's never been on the rental gowns I get--then again, you'll have to make those ill-fitting hoods--and how about them mortarboards! now there's a a piece of clothing that really fits my head well :-)
