Congratulations, AFDA graduate! You’ve worked hard to earn your degree in film, television, or performing arts, and now it’s time to celebrate in style. Whether you’re walking across the stage at the Johannesburg or Cape Town campus, getting your graduation attire sorted doesn’t have to be stressful. Here’s everything you need to know about hiring or buying your AFDA graduation gown.
Understanding Your AFDA Graduation Attire
As an AFDA graduate, your graduation outfit represents your incredible achievement in one of South Africa’s most prestigious creative arts institutions. Your full graduation set typically includes a gown, mortarboard cap, and hood in your faculty colours.
The good news is that you don’t need to spend a fortune to look your best on graduation day. At MD Gowns, we offer both hire and purchase options to suit every budget, with the lowest prices guaranteed across South Africa.
Hiring vs Buying: Which Option Is Right for You?
Most AFDA graduates choose to hire their gowns, and here’s why it makes sense:
- Cost-effective: Hiring is significantly cheaper than buying
- Hassle-free: No need to store or maintain the gown afterwards
- Freshly cleaned: Every gown is hygienically pressed before each hire
- Complete sets available: Get everything you need in one order
However, if you’re planning to use your gown for multiple photo sessions, family celebrations across different provinces, or you simply want to keep it as a keepsake, purchasing might be the better choice for you.
What’s Included in a Full Graduation Set?
When ordering your AFDA graduation attire from MD Gowns, you can choose from individual items or complete sets. A full undergraduate set typically includes:
- Academic gown in the appropriate style
- Mortarboard cap with tassel
- Hood in your faculty colours
- Belt to complete the professional look
We also offer graduation accessories like flowers and even graduation makeup services to help you look picture-perfect on your big day.
How to Order Your AFDA Graduation Gown
Ordering is simple and we deliver nationwide across South Africa. Here’s what to do:
First, know your measurements – particularly your height and chest size. This helps us match you with the perfect fit. Second, place your order at least two weeks before your graduation ceremony to ensure timely delivery. Finally, if you’re ordering with classmates, ask about our bulk discounts for group orders.
