can I wear a puffy dress under my graduation robe?

I found a vintage graduation dress that i really like, but the bottom is puffy and it's going under my graduation robe. I wouldn't usually care, but I'm already heavy-set and I feel like a puffy dress under a large gown will make me look like a ball.

    the dress sounds cute but save it for another day. graduation robes are already unflattering you don't have to add fuel to the flame.

    If you feel comfortable and don't care what others think, then go for it! If not, then I would not recommend you wear a puffy dress under a graduation robe, it is not flattering on anybody. Stick with something more form fitting, so that the robe doesn't look any larger than it needs to look. After all, those things don't look good on anybody! :) You can wear it after wards to a dinner or party!

    It depends. I know that under most graduation gowns you cant see what ypu are wearing underneath, but there are some that are open. If you cant see it then i would sa know. It would look really trust i went there....big mistake. You also have to take into consideration how puffy it is....and ye us heavy set people can look big in puffy gowns and i understand its hard to find others but id keeo your options open and keep looking.

    For commencement, once you're wearing a white gown, placed on a white shirt and pants below, or a white gown in case you want. If it extremely is black or army blue or the different colour, a black gown such as you stated could be super. undergo in ideas, that's an rather formal social amassing, so do no longer placed on a gown that has a low-decrease back or spaghetti straps or shows cleavage. in case you wanna placed on a gown below, placed on something super with short sleeves on account that's a spring commencement. sturdy success at your commencement! :)
