croozgal Posted August 5, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Prior to my first cruise in 2003 I researched these boards and found all kinds of information. I remember seeing several threads on a dress that could have several different looks simply by changing the way it was folded or draped. It could be long or short, strapless or halter. It was much like a sarong. The dress also came with either a video or a brochure displaying the many ways it could be worn. I have searched this site and other boards and can find no mention of it now. Anyone remember this and know where I can find it? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerif Posted August 5, 2004 #3 Share Posted August 5, 2004 You may be thinking of a Hawaiian "pareau" (sp?) - had one many centuries ago when I was still young and thin enough to wear it. Came in many different fabrics and prints and could be worn as a strapless dress, halter dress, skirt, bathing suit cover, etc., etc. Bought mine in Hawaii, but I'm sure you can find one on the internet.

Shellbelle28 Posted August 5, 2004 #4 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Do you mean the "magic dress"? http://www.ancientcircles.com/clothing/magicdress/ http://www.alight.com/12510033.html http://gryphonsmoon.com/Catalog/dress/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the dress I am thinking of is very similar to this, but if I remember correctly it had a specific name and website. I will do a search on 'pareau' and see if I find it. Thanks.
