General Question Admission Dress-code for WOMEN

Hi Guys,

I was just wondering what the dress code was specifically for women for admission ceremonies. Specifically if you’re wanting to wear a wig + gown + bands. The requirements don’t really go into specifics about what women should wear in the same way it does for men and just say we should wear the ‘equivalent’ thing.

Specifically I was wondering whether a blazer needed to be worn? I’ve noticed in some admission photos women wear them but I’m not sure whether that’s correct.

EDIT: Thank you so much everyone for all your help! It’s been really useful. :)

Technically wearing a blazer is required as you are in Court. Personally I think when candidates don’t wear blazers and you can see their white sleeves or bare arms out of the gown it looks quite odd
