Sarong designs

A sarong is a large tube or length of fabric, often wrapped around the waist and worn as a kilt by men and as a skirt by women throughout much of South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, the Horn of Africa, and on many Pacific islands. The fabric most often has woven plaid or checkered patterns, or may have brightly colored by means of batik or ikat dyeing, although often today, they have printed designs, often depicting animals or plants, or resembling batik or ikat. - Wikipedia
