 ï>¿My Pareo/Sarong From: FREEBUFFING Jun-5 10:33 pm To: ALL (1 of 8) 20.1 I
absolutely adore being naked, but unfortunally in our society, I can't
always be.  I don't know diddly about sewing, but I did know that I could
go to my local fabric store, pick out some nice fabric, and buy enough of
it to tie around me as a pareo.  (I got a friend to hem the edges.) Today,
it was HOT so, when it came time for me to have to get dressed, I reached
for my pareo.  I tied it around my neck, halter style, and let the material
drape over my body.  I had to run a few errands, AND it was a breeze
blowing in over the Bay, so, suffice it say, I was accidently exposed a few
times.  It was so hot today, I just wanted to take the thing off!    From:

20.1 Since I'm a bit unclear, do tell us a little more.  For example, how
did you have your pareo or sarong brought together in the back?  I tend to
think of a sarong as a wrap, not a halter.  Also, I always thought a pareo
or pareu was one of those Tahitian skirts tied at one side and worn really
low like a loincloth.  So I can't quite picture how you had this thing on.
Also, how long or short was it?  Did the breeze off the bay expose you
under the hem or did it expose your breasts?  And who saw?  Inquiring minds
want to know.  :-) -- Trish   From: FREEBUFFING Jun-10 12:59 am To: Trish
(TRISHLANDIN) (3 of 8) 20.3 in reply to 20.2 It's actually just a piece of
material.  Sometimes I wear it as a dress, sometimes as a skirt.  When I
wear it as a dress, I hold each end of it, with my arms stretched out, and
I bring the two sides together, and criss cross the ends, and tie them
behind my back like a halter, the rest of the material, hangs off my body,
forming the dress, when I walk, if I don't pin it, the front, will flap
open.  When I wear it as a skirt, I just tie it around my hips.  Check out
http://www.kismethawaii.com, then go to "tie a pareo." I had mine tied
similar to "D", but instead of tying it in the front, I just tied it around
the back of my neck.
On the day in question, I was visiting a relative, and one of the
neighbors homes was in the process of being remodeled.  Lots of

construction guys were out!    From: LAZYLINDA2 Jun-10 7:27 pm To:
FREEBUFFING (4 of 8) 20.4 in reply to 20.3 So what do you think those
construction guys saw?  And what did they do or say?  Yours, Linda   From:

Well, when it blew open, they saw all of me, 'cause I wasn't wearing
nothing under it, but some perfume.    From: Trish (TRISHLANDIN) Jun-11
8:02 am To: FREEBUFFING (6 of 8) 20.6 in reply to 20.5 And when that
happened, did that excite you, embarrass you, or matter very little?  Did
the construction workers give any notable response?  -- Trish   From:

to 20.6 It didn't thrill me, it didn't embarrass me, I really don't know
what it did, but I know, I didn't make any effort to close it.  I think
they were surprised, 'cause they kept looking in my direction, but since I
was pretending that I didn't know that they'd seen anything, I couldn't
really monitor them looking.    From: LAURAZINN Jun-18 8:38 pm To:
FREEBUFFING (8 of 8) 20.8 in reply to 20.7 Arielle, I know exactly what you
mean by the pleasures of wearing a pareo or sarong, and nothing else.  The
way the breeze can flow up and under that light and airy material, it can
make you feel really comfortable on a hot day . . .  and nude.  I like to
wear my sarong as a short skirt, Tahitian style.  Little sarongs for
wearing this way are easy to find in swimwear stores or catalogs.  They
come in various fabrics and sizes and are sold as wraps to wear over bikini
bottoms.  (See the picture from the Skinz catalog.)

   But nothing is stopping you from wearing it INSTEAD of the bikini . . .
if you're daring enough.  You might, however, prefer an opaque Polynesian
print instead of a semisheer hot red mesh!  In my own case, what I've done
is taken a good-sized square of flower print fabric and folded it in half,
bandana style, to make a triangle.  Then I've wrapped it about me as a
little skirt, looping the ends around each other and pulling tight.  I've
seen no need to tie the ends into a serious knot or bow.  The sarong stays
on fine with the ends just looped firmly and left to dangle.  And this is
true even if, after running around, the fit becomes a little looser. 
Swimming in this sarong is no problem, either, at least if the surf isn't
too rough.  But it really does LOOK risky, which is a real turn-on for the
guys.  The actual risks are that someone might be able to see up the skirt
or the wind might flip the skirt up.  The way I reduce these dangers is by
wearing the sarong as far down on my loins as possible, allowing the
material to cover more below.  This has worked pretty well.  And it looks
even sexier.  Instead of a bikini top, I've completed my Tahitian swimwear
ensemble with a long and narrow strip of the same flower print fabric.  I
give this strip a little twist between my breasts and then wrap it about my
bosom, bandeau-like, and loop or tie the ends at my back.  The ends tend to
dangle down to my waist.  Then I position this top so it reveals as much of
my upper cleavage as I can safely manage.  The strip is too narrow,
however, to cover all of the lower part of my bosom.  So, again, this
attracts a lot of attention.  But that's my risky little home-made
swimsuit. I love the way it feels on me--and the looks it attracts.  But I
have to stay alert when wearing it, especially keeping my eye out for rowdy
young guys who've gotten a bit too familiar and have had a few too many
drinks and therefore might too easily just pull the whole outfit off. 
During Spring Break it can be particularly dangerous this way.  That's one
reason why I'd say that swimwear like this is only for those really daring
enough.  Laura
