To wear this to my graduation?

I'm nearly 25, my university graduation is coming up (midwifery).

I really like this dress, but three separate people (friends and family) have said the plunge and cut-out bits are too much for a graduation.

Is there much skin?

I graduated a couple of weeks ago and tbh people wore all sorts.

The robe and hood cover a lot anyway but I would say if you have something that plunges too far the front of the hood might sit weirdly as you don't have anything to button or pin it to. We didn't have to attach ours but mine didn't sit very well at all until I pinned it onto my dress.

If you'll be wearing a gown, that won't work at all. You need to able to attach the front of the gown and hood (usually to a button), and for the outfit to take the weight without riding up. And you may have specified colours you need to stick to.

Graduation attire is usually smart business dress, so I wouldn't wear this as it's not suitable. Id be more looking at shift or a-line dresses. It's a lovely dress but not for graduation.
