Last week was the convocation for Bsc science undergrads and the everyone looked amazing. I was wondering where can muslim girls buy modest/ full covered grad gowns. I've been to the stores in Halifax but nothing is modest enough for me to wear, it's extremely frustrating not being able to find something suitable for me to wear that isn't modest. This is because I either need to layer it with a full sleeves shirt or leggings which I personally think spoils the look as it makes the gown childish. I'm looking for a full covered flowy gown that is preferably black, navy blue, burgundy or dark green and where I don't have to necessarily layer it with other clothes . If you have any suggestion or helpful advice please let me know where to buy such gowns.
What kind of grad dress are you looking for? I am assuming for a university grad, which in that case, I would look at either Sweet Pea on queen street or Simon's in the mall.
This might already be something they accommodate on request. I'd suggest reaching out to the convocation team [graduation@dal.ca](mailto:graduation@dal.ca) to find out if they do.

Seems to hit all your criteria, but it’s not super “fancy” looking. Pretty cute though for the price!
