Why spend the big bucks for a designer frock? Just follow these simple steps to a lovely summer dress or beach cover-up.
You Will Need
- A full-sized sarong
- A friend
- And 2 safety pins
- A bathing suit with shoulder straps
Step 1: Hold sarong
Hold two ends of the sarong behind you so that it’s stretched evenly against your back, hanging from your armpits down.
Step 2: Cross corner
Bring one corner forward and cross it in front of you to your opposite shoulder.
Step 3: Pin corner
Pull that corner over your shoulder and have a friend pin it to the back of your sarong.
If you’re wearing a bathing suit with shoulder straps, knot the corner to a strap instead of pinning it to the sarong, and slide the knot over your shoulder toward your back.
Step 4: Wrap around body
Wrap the rest of the sarong around your body under your bustline.
Step 5: Tuck free end
Tuck the free end into a section that is tight against your body.
Step 6: Pin in place
Pin it in place and strike a pose—you’re done!
Comedy duo Abbott and Costello both donned the signature South Seas garb for their 1942 caper, Pardon My Sarong.
