What
is a Sarong?
Pareo or beach cover-up, sarongs
are a finished piece of fabric approximately 5-6 feet in
length, some with hand knotted end fringe and some with a sewn
hem. Islanders in the South Pacific have treasured this
simple, practical yet most comfortable piece of clothing one
can wear.
Daytime ~ Night
Time ~ Any Time
I
wrap mine around as a mid-calf or ankle length skirt with a
sarong tie in the center. Add t-shirt plus jewelry and you can
dress up or dress down for the day.
Near the Water?
Wear as a swimsuit cover-up around your hips or tie above the
bust. Sarongs also make a beautiful sun dress.
After Work ....
The work clothes come off and the sarong comes on, it is just
that simple!
Other Uses....
We discovered a beautiful Mahogany Sarong Hanger that is hand
carved on the island of Lombok near Bali. Drape
your sarong through the opening and hang as a window curtain
or wall hanging. See Sarong
Accessories
Flat on the floor, the sarong
doubles as a perfect yoga or exercise mat. But
also consider a sarong as a unique table cloth....couch
throw....pet blanket....even fly one as a kite! You are only
limited to your imagination, the possibilities are endless!
HOW TO TIE
You can tie your sarong around your hips, around your bust or
knot around your neck. Tying instructions included.
ALL SARONGS SHOULD BE HAND WASHED
FIRST TIME TO MAKE SURE DYE HAS SET AND WON'T RUN. This is
normal! LINE OR MACHINE DRY. AFTER THAT YOU CAN MACHINE
WASH WITH LIKE COLORS AND MACHINE OR LINE DRY.
NOTE Most
sarongs are hand batik or stamped as well as hand knotted
fringe (unless specified). Literally hours of work go
into making just one beautiful sarong. Any imperfections
you might find are proof that they are unique and one of a
kind. sometimes you might find side pin holes, that is from
the screening process and not a defect.
