Sarongs are versatile pieces of fabric you can wear in many different ways. They have been used in tropical countries for hundreds of years and are still popular today. A sarong is a long cloth wrapped around the body to create a skirt or dress. It can be made from any material, including cotton, silk, or polyester.
There are many ways to tie a sarong, depending on the style you want to create and the amount of fabric you have available. You can use multiple knots or simple folds to achieve your desired look.
Let’s explore the various ways you can tie your full sarong (풀싸롱).
Side-tie Skirt
Consider this side-tie skirt if you’re looking for a cute and easy way to tie your sarong. It’s a great way to wear your sarong as a skirt in the summer and fall seasons. Here’s how to tie a sarong into a side-tie skirt:
- Fold your sarong into a triangle shape, with the fabric facing inward and the edges meeting at the center.
- Wrap the fabric around your hips and cross over one edge over another. Pull both ends until they overlap in front of you.
- Tie a knot at the end of one strand and tuck it under itself so that only one strand remains visible from behind. Repeat on the other side with its corresponding strand, then pull both knots tight to form a knot in front of you between your legs and just below your bust line (at about belly button level).
If you want more coverage around your legs, flip up each side of your sarong so that it wraps around them instead of just being tied at your waistline!
Halter Dress
Fold your sarong in half width-wise, with the right side facing out. Wrap it around your waist and bring it over your shoulder, so it’s draped over your left shoulder. The wide end should sit just above your knee, and the skinny end should hang toward the floor.
Pull on both ends of your sarong so that the skinny end comes up over your right shoulder and rests on the other piece of fabric near your neckline. Then pull on both ends again so that they form an X across your chest at about nipple level (you may need help from someone else for this part). This will ensure that it stays put when you wear it around town or for dinner.
One-shoulder Dress
Wrap the sarong around your waist and bring both ends through the loop at the front. The center of the sarong should be at your hip. You can adjust the length by pulling on either end of the sarong if you want.
Bring one end over your shoulder and down over your breast and tie it around your waist, as shown in the picture below. You can adjust the length by pulling on either end of the sarong if you want.
Bring both ends behind your back, cross them over each other and pull them tight, so they meet at one side of your body. Tighten this knot as much as possible to keep it secure throughout wear (this will stop any loose ends from flapping around!).
Now you know how to tie a full sarong (풀싸롱).Whether you’re wearing one on your next beach trip or want to be able to tie a loose dress top, the sarong is a versatile piece of clothing with a variety of uses. Use these techniques the next time you decide to tie one on!
