Tube skirt or sarong from Indonesia instantly converted into a dress, Dress of the Day 521
Angela in Cylinder skirt converted into a dress. Outfit 521, Photo by Trevor Sharot. The tube skirt or cylinder skirt was bought in Indonesia by my husband. On his return to Singapore he gave it to me as a birthday present, knowing I like clothes. The tube skirt design was a novelty. I wrote about it in my earlier post. I looked at how to convert it into a dress. I pinned ribbons on the long top gap in two places, making a neck opening, and beside it it dropped two openings for my arms. By chance, a couple of days later, I picked up a white blouse with short puff sleeves and a collar. What could I wear it with? A plain black skirt (or skirt of any colour). As I hunted for a black skirt, I passed the cylinder skirt. I picked it up and put it on. The blouse collar solved the problem of how to shape the dress neck. Useful Websites Tube skirt
