In British heraldry, white and silver shades often represent purity, brightness,innocence, and virtue. White is the primary color of wedding dresses in both the west and Japan. A white dress is thought to symbolize purity. In Chinese history white symbolized the Metal or West. In both French and Russian Revolutions white was the color of royalty. White is also associated with snow and ice.
For graduate hoods and academic regalia colors, shades of white designate the degree or discipline of Arts, English, History, Letters, Literature, and Sociology.
White Gowns As Baptismal Robes
These robes are sometimes purchased as baptismal gowns. They work well for a baptism robe (without the cap), and are an inexpensive option for that use. However, please note that the polyester material used for these white baptismal robes tend to become see-through and translucent when wet. For a better long term solution, we suggest using our Baptismal Robes.
Schools Using White Gowns
White has found its way into many high school colors and university or college colors, symbols and logos. If you would like references to schools using white graduation caps and gowns, please look to our homepage for a testimonials link, or email us and ask for a reference in your area.
Fabric Description
The fabric is lightweight, shrink resistant, mildew resistant, and quick drying. It is also strong, resistant to stretching, most chemicals, and abrasion. They are reliably resilient and crisp when wet or dry, and retain heat-set pleats and creases. These robes can be washed in ordinary washers and dryers, though we do not recommend you do so very many times as they are not intended for long-term use. These gowns can fade from long exposure to the sun.
