Planning a graduation ceremony for your college, training institution, or school? Ordering gowns for an entire group doesn’t have to be stressful. At MD Gowns, we’ve helped countless South African institutions dress their graduates beautifully, and we’re here to make the process simple for you too.
Why Bulk Orders Make Sense for Institutions
When you’re coordinating graduation for dozens or even hundreds of students, individual orders can quickly become a logistical nightmare. Bulk ordering through a single supplier ensures consistency in gown quality, colour, and fit across your entire graduating class.
At MD Gowns, we offer special pricing for group orders, which means significant savings for your institution or your students’ pockets. Plus, you’ll have one point of contact for any questions or concerns, making communication much easier.
Steps to Place a Group Order
Getting your institution’s gowns sorted is straightforward when you follow these steps:
- Gather your numbers: Collect a list of all graduates, including their sizes and the specific degree or qualification they’re receiving (this affects hood colours).
- Contact us early: Reach out at least 4-6 weeks before your ceremony date to ensure availability and allow time for any adjustments.
- Confirm your requirements: Let us know if you need full sets (gown, hood, mortarboard) or specific items only.
- Arrange delivery or collection: We offer nationwide delivery across South Africa, or you can collect from our Johannesburg location.
What We Can Supply for Your Institution
MD Gowns caters to a wide range of institutions across South Africa, from universities like UNISA, UJ, and TUT to colleges such as Boston City Campus, Rosebank College, and various TVETs. We supply gowns for undergraduate ceremonies, postgraduate events, and even preschool graduations.
Beyond gowns, we can also help with mortarboards, tassels, neckbands, and academic hoods in the correct colours for your institution. Every gown is freshly cleaned and hygienically pressed before hire, so your graduates will look their absolute best.
Don’t Forget the Finishing Touches
A complete graduation look goes beyond just the gown. Many institutions also arrange professional makeup services for their graduates to ensure everyone looks polished in photographs and on stage. MD Gowns offers graduation makeup services that complement your academic attire perfectly.
Whether you’re coordinating for a small training college or a large university faculty, we’re here to help make your graduation ceremony memorable for all the right reasons.
