I suddenly thought of BC friends when thinking of what to wear. Why not stretch your cultural boundaries, especially as these possibilities have the advantage that fitting is no problem as one size fits all!

How to tie a pareu.

How to wear a saree.

Have fun trying and my experience is that a pareu is very practical, it is impossible not to move elegantly wearing a saree and both are easy to pack when travelling. If you think you wouldn't dare I wore a pareu at Washington, DC function to successfully compete with local businesswomen when I was living out of a suitcase!

Once you have tried I'm sure you will search out variations on YouTube etc

As a sailor I know my reef knots and can secure my bow line but Angharad, it would take Welshwoman to elegantly use a sheep shank.

Speaking of which

First rope's end: "I'm a tassel! Are you a tassel?"
Second rope's end: "No, I'm a frayed knot."

All, right, I'll leave quietly.

Rhona,

Rhona,
I'm saree I knew nothing about how to wear them. I'm knot familiar with that type of clothing, however your links will make it so. I do know that ropes hanging down mean no wind, swaying left or right, wind blowing and if wet, it is raining or snowing. :)
