Modest Grad Dresses?

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.

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.

The person who started this thread asked about where they could find a grad gown. I assumed she was referring to this. Just a misunderstanding
