How to tie a sarong skirt

Sarong skirts, they are also essential in our summer wardrobe, just like swimwear. Sarong is a traditional waist dress among peoples from Sri Lanka to Tahiti.

Sarong perfectly masks too lush hips or full legs. Sarong skirts look natural on the beach, they are comfortable and comfortable in them, they do not hinder movement at all. You can use the sarong to sit with friends under the awning or palm tree at the waterfront cafe. And not only ... you can take a walk in the city by camouflaging your lower body with a sarong.

And if you put a sarong over your shoulders, it will protect you from the bright scorching sun. In Southeast Asia, sarongs are worn by both women and men. True, they use them as clothes. And we will use sarongs only for rest.

A sarong is a large enough piece of fabric to wrap around any size shape. The most beautiful sarong fabrics are Indonesian, Thai and fabrics from other Southeast Asian countries. They are interesting for their decorative border, original ethnic ornament. Some of them have a pattern on only one side of the fabric, others, more expensive, on both sides.

The most popular among the inhabitants of European countries are thin and light, cotton sarongs, similar to large and long scarves.

They are easier to drape. In stores, you can find a huge variety of sarongs made from different fabrics. But before you buy a sarong, be sure to try it on - how it will sit on you.

When trying on, try to tie it in different ways.

One of the easiest ways is to tie the sarong like a miniskirt around the waist. Fold the sarong in half and wrap it around yourself, tie the ends to the side.

You can tie the sarong in a toga-style knot with the knot on the shoulder. The ends can not be tied, but inserted into a special buckle, which should be selected in advance in shape and color.

How to tie a sarong skirt

Caribbean way
In this case, any thin fabric will do. It can be tied both above the chest and low (on the hips). Gather the ends of the fabric in your hands and tie with a loose knot. The ends should hang loosely. For a gala evening dinner, where acquaintances and strangers gather, you can tie a sarong at the waist so that the right side of the fabric is longer than the left. When you tie the knot, wrap the rest of the right piece of fabric around yourself, tuck the end of the fabric under your waistline.

Thailand way
Wrap yourself around your waist, leaving the right side longer than the left. The short side should be tucked around the belly. Then lower the long right piece of fabric a little, twist the end and wrap it around your waist. Now that the ends have met, tie the right end around the left. This method can be used by tying the sarong and above the chest.

Burmese way
Burmese sarongs are sewn together to form a tube. Then put on the "pipe" so that the border is in the center, press the fabric on you and, connecting the sides of the pipe, tie the fabric in front. It turns out quite interesting - as if you put on a skirt with a counter pleat. You can tie the "pipe" in the Thai way.

If you have narrow shoulders, it is best to tie the sarong over the chest. If the shoulders are wide, tie the sarong at the waist or wrap yourself above the chest, cross the ends of the fabric on the chest, and tie them behind the neck - you get something like a collar-tie that visually reduces the shoulders.

If you are a petite woman with large breasts, do not tie the sarong above or below the chest. It is best to tie it just below the hips.

And here, if you have small breasts, tie the sarong right on the chest, and even with a large knot.

You have a short waist. Then the best place for a sarong on your body is above your chest.Choose a sarong in this case with a longitudinal pattern and tie it to the right or left. This will lengthen your torso.

Wide hips or large belly... Choose fabric with a vertical pattern. Tie the sarong only at the waist and at an angle. It turns out that the knot, under its weight, lowers the fabric a little. Such a diagonal line always slims and distracts the eye from the places that you want to hide.

You have short legs... Do not wear a sarong with a wide border starting from the middle of the calf. A mini or ankle-length sarong with a vertical print will look best on you.

You are a plump and not tall woman. Think if you might prefer a different garment to the sarong. For example, a light tunic or shirt, or maybe beach light trousers. With a wide-brimmed hat, you will look great in these clothes.

Tie a sarong using your own imagination. Experiment and get a great look.

Sarongs can be used not only as a skirt, but also as a dress. The swimsuit only looks decent on the beach, so using your fantasy and sarong, you can take your time to change clothes to appear at a social party.
