When choosing a scarf, you must definitely pick it up, drape it, put it on your shoulders - the fabric should be pleasant to the touch and gently flow.

If you want a chic drapery, you should choose a larger size. In addition, you should pay attention to the following points:

- the length of the fabric should be such that a scarf can wrap the body at least three times.
So, how to make a dress from scarves. A few ways.
1. Initially, the length of the scarf should be adjusted to the circumference of the chest and waist. To do this, you need to pick up the edges of the scarf in the palm of your hand in such a way that the body is tightly covered with fabric. (By the way, this technique is applicable when buying a ready-made pareo, when choosing the right size.) Then you need to twist the resulting “tails” a little, so that it can be tied in a knot. If you use this technique, the knot does not turn out too thick, and it looks very harmonious and balanced.
2. Surabaja. To make such a pareo, you need a scarf with a size of 120 * 120cm. the width should correspond to the volume of the wearer's body. In the event that the pareo is too long, you need to roll up the upper edge a little. The scarf must be wrapped around the chest, and its ends wound behind the back - so they go towards each other. Each end is brought to the chest and knotted in front.
3. Amboseli - a dress of two scarves. First you need to throw a scarf 120 * 120cm in size on the front. The upper ends of the scarf are tied at the back of the head. Then the lower edge of the fabric is threaded between the legs and rises to the waist. In order for the scarf to fit more tightly to the body, you can slightly twist its edge.
After that, a second scarf 110 * 110cm is taken, which is tied to the waist at the back. Then, the left and right ends are taken, which are tied at the waist side or front.
