Our daughter will complete her Ph.D. this spring.
I am looking for recommendations about the best place to purchase a gown and hood – thinking about her wearing these items in graduation processionals to come, so they should be of good quality!

Has she checked with her school? Our school rented them to their grad students.
Congrats to your daughter!
Sounds like she wants to buy instead of rent.
My professor spouse did not buy his until he was deep into his own faculty role and was attending graduation to “hood” his own grad students – at $850+, it was not a priority for on a humanities prof salary!
I’d recommend renting, and then waiting to see whether she needs/wants to own her own later.
I understood the question - the OP has been updated. Looks like she is going into teaching… I still recommend looking for a rental because things can change, she might leave academia for a non-profit or commercial job.
Maybe try a company like Herff Jones.
Congratulations!
I would have your D first check with the college…some schools have distinctive robes and she may want/need that particular style.
