What to wear to graduation - HELP!

It's my graduation on wednesday and the letter says to wear something with a collar and buttons. However I really struggle to find blouses that fit me because I have big boobs. I usually wear v-neck tops/dresses as they're the most flattering so don't own anything with proper collars and buttons. Anyone have any idea what I could wear? Bearing in mind I'm having photos taken that are going to be given to family too!! Thanks in advance

This is what I wore to mine:

This is what Twinny wore:
One of the girls I graduated with wore a low-cut t-shirt and black trousers.
As long as it's smart-ish I think you're pretty much fine.
I didn't get a choice in what to wear to mine.
I'm surprised they're that strict I've never heard of women having to wear a top with a collar and buttons. Talk to your friends and see how seriously they're taking that rule.
Also, if you don't have buttons take safety pins to discreetly pin your hood in place at the shoulders (a hood often has a loop to attach to the buttons on a shirt).
Bloody sub fusc. I had it in my head I was done with it after exams.
You're right I forgot about the crazy Oxbridge rules.
I had to suffer. And an MEng hood is wool, in July. Wasn't going to let you off.
I'm not sure I get a graduation, since it's a diploma. Would only be half disappointed with that in mind.

I'm not sure if you're planning to get a new job after graduation or what it's dress code will be, but one of these blouses might be a good investment for it.
