Each college has its own academic dress. For some it is just a cap and gown and other, higher dips a cap, gown and a hood. They are expensive though and there are not many occasions to wear them apart from fancy dress parties. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The DipRSCM is of the Cambridge Full Shape scarlet, faced 3" royal blue
LRSM is of the Aberdeen Shape scarlet, lined white watered silk, with a gold tipping
FRSM is of the Oxford Burgon Shape scarlet, lined royal blue.

All ABRSM diplomats wear a black gown of the Oxford BA pattern.

There is currently no hood for the ATCL. The LTCL is of the Cambridge Full Shape, purple lined 3" mauve, and the FTCL is purple, fully lined mauve.

Thank you for the information. I received a letter from ABRSM regarding the ceremony (for Diploma) to be held in Hong Kong on 6.11.2006. The letter didn't mention what kind of academic dress to be worn. Do you know "mortarboard" for DipABRSM is included or not??

The rental of dress is HK$450. Photo is HK$850. Total HK$1,300.

Interestingly, robemakers in the UK quote the same academic dress for DipABRSM, LRSM and FRSM - what was previously used for one of the G<something> music college qualifications.

Actually, I have to retract what I said earlier - there is now some variation in the quoted hoods between the three diplomata. However, it appears to make no sense: DipABRSM and FRSM are the same; LRSM is different (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif).

YetAnotherPianist and dcmbarton, thank you for the reply.

Do you know "mortarboard" (cap or hat) for DipABRSM is included or not??

The best people to contact are Ede and Ravenscroft who make all the hoods, or any other makers of academic dress.

Yes it is very expensive to buy a gown and hood for DipABRSM. I emailed the relavent people and they replied:

"Further to your email below I'm pleased to confirm the following information:

DipABRSM Purchase prices

Gown ------------ £165.00
Hood ------------ £52.00

Hire prices

On the full outfit is £38.00 plus £12.00 postage & packing.

Delivery on both would be 10 days."


So it is expensive! We don't have much chance in wearing the gown anyway. But it looks weird to me to wear gown etc... cos in our formal hall (dinner) dinning with fellows at uni we have to wear gown too... imagine wearing a gown walking on the street.....i don't know.. i feel weird about it...

When will the ceromony take place in Hong Kong and in the UK Joe? Difficult for me........ I will only be in hong kong twice a year - in xmas and summer. Where did you get the details of the ceromony?

Many thanks,

maTThew
