How does gown sizing work?
The gown sizes are categorized by height. The sets of 3 numbers indicate the height in feet and inches. The asterisked options (*1 and *2) are for plus-sizes; 1XL and 2XL. Thus, the options should be interpreted as follows:
[501 503] = For graduates between 5’1″ to 5’3″
[507 509 *1] = For graduates between 5’7″ to 5’9″ and are 1XL in sizing.
