It’s not just for graduations! You can wear it at any gown-appropriate event!

Marriages, graduations and funerals carry forward some traditions that haven’t made sense for generations. They are the irregular verbs of modern life. Interestingly, marriages and funerals often have a religious element, and religion itself is conservative—but graduation doesn’t have that excuse.

What a brilliant idea! I'll make sure to include in my will arrangements for everyone to easily be able to rent graduation gowns. It should make for a happier event

Can you? I mean, you _can_ but you really can't. Showing up at a marriage or funeral in one would be... weird to say the least.
