I have gone with the Blue Gown (see picture in previous entry). The final vote was 12-2 in favor of the blue gown, with the black, red-piped robe coming in a distant second. I chose for two reasons: 1) my academic context; and 2) my own and Michelle's preference. The community's votes confirmed that I have made the right choice for my graduation.
The total cost was up near $750. Donations are welcomed (of course I'm kidding). Seriously though, my mother and father in-law, and my own parents have graciously covered the cost of this pricey academic costume. What a graduation gift!
