The term 'Polynesian Garment' refers to two traditional garments worn in Polynesia, the Pareu and the SARONG. The Pareu is a rectangular piece of cloth, usually made of cotton or silk, that is wrapped around the body and tied at the waist. The SARONG is a longer piece of cloth, usually made of cotton or silk, that is wrapped around the waist and then draped over one shoulder. Both garments are often brightly colored and decorated with intricate patterns.
