I have a confession to make. The sarong isn’t even really technically a dress. It’s probably more of a skirt, but it’s not really a skirt either. It’s more just a big piece of fabric that you wrap around yourself, kind of like a toga, but with fewer ancient Roman connections. Sarongs are popular among women and islander men because they are incredibly kick ass comfortable in a tropical environment and they don’t require the co-operation of a factory full of children in China or Taiwan to manufacture.
