These sarongs are made of high quality rayon in a lightweight but sturdy challis weave, perfect for dressmaking.  I plan to make a sundress with this stunning black and white design.  The first sarong I received did not have any contrasting border pattern, as shown on the site.  I ordered a second one which did arrive with a contrasting border pattern, tho slightly different than the product image online.  These sarongs are all individually hand wax stamped and batik dyed, so it's not unreasonable to have variations in the final products.  I'm glad I was able to get one with the contrasting border, as it will be an important design element in the dress I'll make with it. Also glad Amazon Prime makes it easy to return items that miss the mark.
