I purchased this lovely pareo to wear over the Hanes big and tall t-shirt that I wear as a bathing suit cover up. It matches the blue of the shirt, and genuinely looks tropical; My niece told me that it "looks so very vacationy". It is easy to tie into a quick skirt. I watched several videos on YouTube to see other tying methods. If I had two of these, I could make a quick dress over the cover up in less than five minutes!
