Congratulations, future AFDA graduate! You’ve spent years mastering your craft in film, television, performance, or live event production – and now it’s time to walk across that stage in style. Whether you’re looking to hire a graduation gown for the day or purchase your own full set to keep forever, this guide has everything you need to make your AFDA graduation day absolutely perfect.
Understanding Your AFDA Graduation Gown Options
When it comes to your AFDA graduation attire, you have two main choices: hiring or buying. Hiring is perfect if you want to look stunning on the day without the long-term commitment, while purchasing means you’ll have your gown as a treasured keepsake for years to come.
A complete AFDA graduation set typically includes:
- Academic gown in the appropriate style for your qualification
- Mortarboard (graduation cap) with tassel
- Hood in your faculty colours
- Any additional accessories specific to your degree level
Why Hire Your AFDA Graduation Gown?
Hiring is the most popular choice among AFDA students, and it’s easy to see why. It’s budget-friendly, convenient, and you don’t have to worry about storage afterwards. At MD Gowns, all our hire gowns are freshly cleaned and hygienically pressed before each use, so you’ll look crisp and professional in every photo.
Our hire packages include everything you need for the ceremony, and we offer the lowest prices guaranteed. Plus, with nationwide delivery across South Africa, getting your gown is hassle-free no matter where you’re based.
Buying Your Full Graduation Set
If you want to own your graduation gown outright – perhaps for future ceremonies, special occasions, or simply as a meaningful memento of your achievement – purchasing a full set is the way to go. Many AFDA graduates choose this option because their journey through the creative arts has been so transformative.
When you buy your set, you’ll have the freedom to take photos whenever you want, lend it to family members, or even frame parts of it as a display. It’s a wonderful way to honour the hard work you’ve put into your qualification.
How to Order Your AFDA Graduation Gown
Getting your graduation attire sorted is simple. Here’s what to do:
- Know your ceremony date and plan to order at least 2-3 weeks in advance
- Have your measurements ready (chest, height, and head circumference for the mortarboard)
- Decide whether you’re hiring or buying
- Place your order online or contact us for assistance with bulk orders
If you’re part of a group of AFDA graduates, ask about our bulk discounts for colleges and training institutions – it’s a great way to save money together!
