What Exactly is a Sarong?
Simply put, a sarong is a woven panel of fabric. It is usually decorated and worn as a garment by both men and women in many countries over the world. They are extremely versatile, able to be tied on the body in a wide variety of ways to create short or long skirts, dresses, togas, turbans and more. Sarongs serve more purposes than simply as clothing, though. They are popular as wall decorations, tablecloths, curtains or even as loose sacks for carrying items. They are some of the oldest garments the world knows, and their functionality and beauty remains relevant today.
History of Sarongs
No one knows exactly when people began wearing sarongs. It’s safe to say they have been worn as long as people have been weaving fabric. Because they require no buttons or complicated fasteners, they are some of the simplest garments to create and wear, and early peoples would undoubtedly have taken advantage of that fact.

Making a Sarong - Traditional and Modern Methods
To make a sarong, first a length of fabric is needed. This panel can be any of the materials mentioned above, or a different material entirely. Many different lengths of sarongs are popular, and they are often cut and hemmed for a particular individual.
Batik is a very old, traditional method for dying sarongs. Batik artisans are especially popular in Indonesia, and many families have been practicing this ancient art for generations. In batik, wax is applied to the fabric on all areas except those which will be dyed. The fabric is dipped into a plant-based dye, and the wax prevents certain areas of the fabric from taking the color. Once the garment is removed and dry, the wax can be removed with hot water, leaving a beautiful design. This process can be repeated multiple times to incorporate different colors.
Traditional dyes used in batik are indigo, brown and white. These symbolize the three main Hindu gods, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Also, those colors are readily available through the local plants.
Today, many sarongs are printed mechanically, to make mass production and distribution easier, but batik artisans are still at work.
More unique, personal and less industrialized methods of decoration include hand-painting by artisans, hand-sewn embroidery, and hand-sewn detailing such as small pearls (popular in ceremonial or wedding sarongs). Sarongs that are hand-decorated using one or more of these methods are one-of-a-kind works of art, which can be treasured not only by the wearer, but passed down through the family as an heirloom.Sarongs with a high thread count, that is more threads per square inch of fabric, are considered better quality than others. This is especially important if an intricate design is going to be dyed or hand-painted onto the fabric. Higher thread counts mean less color bleeding, and allow for more definition and detail.

Wearing a Sarong
Sarongs are worn as skirts in most parts of the world, and this is the most popular style in the United States, as well. They are simply wrapped several times around the waist and tied off for a long, elegant look. They can also be folded over to create a shorter, more convenient skirt that shows off your legs. Wrapping up in the fabric also provides good protection from the sun, especially when they are used as beach wear. Tying the garment up into a dress, either around the neck or over the breasts, is also popular and timelessly stylish.
Sarongs Today
Today, these traditional garments are still worn by peoples all over the world who have cherished them time out of mind. In the western world, where they haven’t been as ubiquitous, people have long thought of them as beach wear and swimsuit cover-ups for men as well as women.

It’s even becoming more common these days to see women wrapped in a sleek sarong topped off with a business blazer and high heels. In professional settings, they allow modern women to express their individuality while maintaining an upscale, sophisticated style. These traditional wraps speak of simplicity, functionality, and beauty, and they continue to make a strong impression wherever they are worn.

Speaking to Associated Press by phone, Julia Morley, chairwoman of the Miss World Organization, confirmed that none of the 137 contestants would wear a bikini.
“Indonesia is designing for us a very beautiful one-piece beachwear, and I’m very happy with them. I don’t think Indonesia is the only country that has that culture,” Morley said. “But we like to work in the manner respectful to every country, and I cannot see why when you go to somebody’s country you should not behave respectfully,” Julia Morley said.
