Need dress help

[croozgal]

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.

Sorry, never heard of that.

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.

Do you mean the "magic dress"?

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.
