Well, that is how what the Malay call "orang putih", literally white people, wear sarong. If you want to know how Malay women/men wear sarong check this out:

I have two sarongs and 1 male sarong (very huge, I usually wear it during prayer to cover the lower part of my body). My mother has dozens, so does my father(actually that male sarong was my father's, just a reason to take a piece of him here with me).
But it is a pity, youngsters nowadays can't wear it without having someone poking fun on them. |

Hello nina,
Its nice to know that sarong is have many usage, in you, you use it during prayer time, to us here in the Philippines sarong is commonly wear during summer time specially in the beaches during swimming time, as what i have said sarong is the one being put to cover the lower part of the swimming suit being wear by the who wants to swim, but it is commonly use by females and not of males. but there are some male like to use it also especially the gay one.  |

In the village, we used to wear sarong to bath at the well outside in the backyard. But most people have water supplied to their home thru pipe nowadays. Still, the place where we bath and wash clothes is still outside the house, with little cover, so we wear sarong up to the breast level to bath or wash. I'm sure you are also used to seeing this custom.
It is a common thing in the village, but I am never used to it. So I have to be dragged everytime my parents wanted me to visit the village where my grandmother lives. Everytime I need to go to the toilet or wash myself, I wanted to die...(just exaggerating). It is just so mind-blowing, at least to me, that the act that is as intimate as washing oneself is carried out in public. Well, not really public, but open to passers-by. |

Hello nina,
sorry for tha late reply to your response,
i was busy the other two days,
my dad let me first study my English and Italian Language lesson,
in respond to your ways of using Sarong,
yeah...... me to do the same way but not always,
just every time my bathrobe is not available,
I used sarong a very great one, my Sister bought
it there in your place Malaysia, she gave it to me
as a souvenir. Actually I like using it as a dress,
I tie the two ends of the sarong to my neck, and
I like the result, hehehe (laughing,)
try it yourself, am sure you will like it too. |
