Or indeed anyone that lives in Cambridge..

..does anyone have a formal gown I could borrow temporarily? Preferrably before Sunday.

I'm 5'10"!

C'mon, I know there's a fair few on here and you all have to have gowns!

Erm, p4radox is a Cambridge student...

He's really really tall though so even if he does have a gown, it might drown you

Are you talking Formal dinner gown or graduation gown?

Go as a wizard.

Formal dinner gown.

Which college are you going to? I've not been to a college which required me to wear a gown to formal except my own. Normally if you're a guest you won't need a gown. You can borrow mine, and they're all the same size. I'm at Queens'.

Corpus, as a member of the choir I need a gown. Dunno why

Cheers! I have emailed you.

Yeah I've got one. I'm 6'4, but IIRC it's one size fits all.

I'm using it tonight, and then again in a week's time. I'd be quite happy to lend you it: I'm at Selwyn College.

Gaverick · 15 Jan 2008 at 14:06

I have a gown but I'm a bit far away and a little bit too tall.

OSB · 15 Jan 2008 at 14:08

Mine would be no use probs as i'm in gonville and caius so mine's blue!!

growse · 15 Jan 2008 at 14:35

Ooooooo! You'll be fined if "they" find out that you're not wearing the correct college gown!

platypus · 15 Jan 2008 at 15:16

Its ok, I've managed to get hold of one
