Plus Size Sarong Swimwear for Women

Look Good on the Beach in a Plus Size Sarong Cover Up

A sarong is a simple length of fabric worn as a loose-fitting wrap-around. It originates from Malaysia, and eBay presents an array of sarongs that are contemporarily stylish yet have an exotic feel. The Malay word “sarung” means covering or sheath, and the west has adopted this comfortable garment for exactly that. A sarong is the perfect plus size beach cover-up.

Plus size cover up sarongs are total solution clothing. Some are designed to be dresses or kaftans that slip on easily, some are skirts with belts and/or fastenings, and some are like foulards or scarves that are tied at the bust or around the waist. What they have in common is wrap-around practicality, a loose and comfortable fit, and flow and movement in the fabric as you stroll along the beach.

Plus size sarongs are for every taste and every beach. Sarongs and cover-ups come in numerous styles, colors, fabrics, and patterns:

• Condition: Many plus size sarong cover-ups on eBay are brand new, and garments listed as second-hand are often in as-new condition.
• Sizes: Sarongs are worn comfortably. Their loose-fitting nature gives a lot of flexibility size-wise. Plus size sarongs are for the fuller figure as they stylishly cover and hide the silhouette in a sleek, flowing way. If you have doubts about sizes, see the manufacturer site for details.
• colors: Traditionally, sarongs come in bright, summery colors. Light colors or white are cooling on a hot beach but, for those who prefer the slimming effect of wearing black, eBay offers sleek, plus size black sarongs that bestow femininity and style. Variations include lace, cotton, chiffon, maxi-skirt, mini-wrap, fringed, sparkly, and more.
• Patterns: Most sarongs are in solid colors but many have patterns inspired by Hawaiian or Brazilian traditions or designs. Some have stripes, floral patterns, or geometric features, and some form a set, together with a swimsuit or bikini in the same pattern.
• Fabric: Sarongs were traditionally made with batik fabric dyed in bright strong colors. Nowadays, plus size sarong cover-up fabrics are usually practical, wrinkle-proof, and quick-drying synthetic materials. Other fabrics used are cotton, silk or chiffon.

Logically, a see-through material does not cover up very much. The almost transparency of chiffon or the classy just-a-glimpse quality of lacy materials give the impression of covering very little while blurring your entire silhouette. A plus-size see-through cover-up covers much more than it reveals, which diverts the attention and the 'plus' in the size is barely noticed.
