When you need a quick flash of color, reach for a sarong and tie one on. There are no rules here, girlfriend. You can wear your sarong almost any way you want, as different dresses and skirts of varying lengths. Channel your inner diva and amp it up with a sarong in bold colors and patterns. The sarong vibe can be irresistible.
1.
If you want to make the sarong into a full dress, center the sarong behind you with the top edge under your armpits and pull the ends around to your front. Holding it at the top with both hands, tie the ends together into a tight double knot. You can keep the knot front and center or slide the knot off-center to either side. Fluff out the tails of fabric hanging down from the knot to make a cute and flirty mini dress.
2.
You can make it into a sassy skirt, too, if you place the top edge around your hips. Look down to see how long the skirt will be. If you want it shorter, gather the fabric along the top edge of the sarong until the bottom edge hits your legs where you want. Hold the sarong behind your back at the top ends and pull the ends around to your front. You want the top edge of the sarong sitting right at waist level. Tie the ends together into a double knot and slide the knot around so it sits above either hip.
3.
To wrap the sarong into a halter dress, center the sarong behind you with the top edge under your armpits and pull the ends around to your front. When you get the two ends to the front, bring them together at the center of your chest. Cross the ends at the center front of your chest and twist the ends three or four times. Then bring the ends up and around to the back of your neck. Tie the ends into a tight double knot. Arrange the edges of the fabric so they overlap and fall nicely down the front of your body. Don't worry -- there should be plenty of fabric draping for full coverage to make this a chic summer sundress.
