Another Gown Thread

Do you have to wear gowns at chapel?
Are they opitional?
Not even for Special Services?

*Will my gown get trapped in my spokes if i attempt to pose for photograph by riding down Kings parade?*

I must say: that's going to be a bad thing if I get the grades. My mum's a notorious photo pose setter-upper. It's so embarrassing.

"Now, Stephen, stand with your friends [who don't want to be photographed either]" - stands for ages trying to get the best shot - "no I haven't taken it yet. Oh never mind - I'll get another now."

I suspect, re the bike photo, that your gown would billow out behind you if it was anywhere near short enough.

(Cue short people from the previous thread going *I ams too short* *I going to fall off bike*)

buy a basket (oh how cambridgey)

depends on college rules i guess. we were told that gowns were the norm for chapel but we wouldn't be turned away if we weren't wearing them. some special services (eg the quincentenary stuff) had smart clothes and gowns as compulsory, but others were casual/no gowns.

probably not, undergrad gowns aren't that long. however, other students will laugh at you. :P

surely i'm not the only person who thinks the idea of striding about town with a gown sounds glourious?

Well Obviously i wouldn't wear my gown randomly at non-essential times... though do fancy doing the bike pose! lol

And whats wrong with other students laughing at me for the sake of a photo for my friends and family?

they won't laugh at you if it's obvious that you're having a photo taken. they'll just pity you.

um, i think you are the only person who thinks 24 hour gownage is glorious. really, it's not that great. you'll just look like someone out of harry potter. you'll amuse the tourists, but scare any prospective applicants

make sure you do formal at colleges down trumpington street then. gives you an excuse to wear your gown to those formals, and seeing as you'll have to via Kings, you can um, parade, down kings parade, and revel in your gowniness.

i just prefer visiting threshers and strutting down kings parade towards a college/curry house with several bottles of white....

i can't visit threshers in my gown though... and i thought you were banned fomr gown wearing at other ocllege formals?
