Pareo for a bath

Adherents of wellness holidays often acquire such an attribute as a pareo for a bath. Such clothing is a women's cape with fasteners, ties, elastic band with buttons or Velcro, beautiful and comfortable for procedures in the steam room. Most often, the canvas is unpretentiously wrapped under the armpits. Tahiti is considered the birthplace of this item. Compared to beach pareos, sauna models can serve not only as a cover for the body, but also as a towel or bedding for hot surfaces.





Models
Bath pareos are made from a variety of materials.



Cotton
Accessories from this fabric are very hygienic, allow the skin to "breathe" and are available in two types: terry and waffle. The first option is gentler, more pleasant, more convenient, however, the waffle pareo has its advantages: it is cheaper, lighter, and due to the special structure of the matter, it has a slight cleansing effect. A waffle cloth can also be used for rubbing, but it quickly becomes wet.



Linen
Bath attributes made of this material are very resistant to wear, smooth, light, hypoallergenic, have a disinfectant property and excellent vapor permeability.



Bamboo
This environmentally friendly fabric began to be used for sewing bath clothes not so long ago, but it has already managed to gain popularity.The fiber perfectly absorbs moisture and dries quickly, in addition, it has good air permeability and kills up to seventy percent of bacteria per day, provides protection from ultraviolet rays.



microfiber
Matter was invented in the seventies of the twentieth century in Japan. It is a fiber that is many times thinner than a human hair. Consists of polyester, polyamide and polymers. Durable, velvety fabric, it will not fade or pill, and is easy to clean.



Color
Bath wraps are often monochromatic, but checkered and striped patterns are increasingly in vogue. Decorate accessories with pockets, embroidered patterns, colorful edging. The stores offer a rich palette of colors: white, cream, milky, brick, coral, turquoise, black.



Selection Tips
There are many options for the length of the bath attribute, in the traditional form it covers the knees, but there are types that expose the legs more, or reach the middle of the lower leg. A short cape is suitable for thin, slender girls, while plump ones should look after elongated models. It is best to purchase copies on an elastic band and the smell should be large.



For men
Men's pareos are usually called kilts. If you wrap it around your waist and fasten it with a clasp, then this part of the wardrobe resembles a skirt. The idea of using it as a bath accessory is inspired by the traditions of Scotland, where this comfortable piece of clothing has been worn since ancient times. The bath kilt, as usual, is wider and shorter than the women's pareo, has a dull color, is devoid of decorations, and is trimmed with only modest embroidery. This attribute successfully replaces a towel and prevents you from catching a cold when leaving the sauna.



What to wear
It is customary to combine a pareo for a bath with slippers.In addition, complete with it you can often see a towel that is tied around the head, this is the so-called turban, as a rule, it is made of the same fabric and the same color. For those who often go to the sauna, a mid-calf-length terry cape, reminiscent of ivory, is perfect.





How to sew?
Pattern for a female model
To make this simple thing, it is not necessary to make a pattern, but for those who rarely sew and are not confident in themselves, it is better to draw everything on paper first. You need to take paper or tracing paper, if they are not available, then old newspapers will do. On the sheet, draw a rectangle measuring 120 by 80 centimeters. Using a compass, round each of the two bottom edges of the paper and cut them out. If there is a desire to decorate the attribute with pockets, then they also need a pattern. It is a small square or rectangle about 20 by 15 centimeters in size.



For male
If it is a kilt, then they build a rectangle 120 by 50 centimeters. For a man, the option is shorter, since the thing is not worn on the chest. If a person is not tall, then you can limit yourself to 40 centimeters. If a man goes in for sports, the main measure will be the volume of the chest. In the case when it exceeds 100 centimeters, you need to buy another piece of matter.



Sewing a standard model
If a terry cloth is chosen, it will be difficult to process it due to the fact that it frays and stretches. In the absence of an overlock, it is worth abandoning this type of material. The role of the holder is often played by a linen elastic, the length of which is 40 centimeters less than the width of the fabric. Thanks to this, the item will not fall off while being worn.

Stages of work
- It is necessary to wrap each edge and bend the belt line a couple of times by 3-4 centimeters.Then squeeze the elastic into the resulting passage, and fix it.
- The next step is to tuck the bottom and sections of the accessory, sew a contact adhesive tape on both sides of the belt, in the female version - above the chest, in the male version - at the waist. Pieces of ribbon, laces, buttons can act as fastening details.
- The last element of the work is to wrap the cuts of the pockets, tuck them in and sew at the bottom of the cape. Straps will also help to make the model more interesting, you can sew one over the head or two over the shoulders.


Nuances
If the task is to make a bath attribute larger than the 50th size, you should buy material 150 centimeters wide. The main female measure is the volume of the chest, the male one is the width of the hips, in addition, the waist circumference should be taken into account and the largest width should be chosen. For example, when the hips are 110 centimeters, the chest is 100 centimeters, and the waist is 80 centimeters, it is recommended to take a length of 110 centimeters, increasing it by another 30 centimeters, this is the size of the smell.

For a child
As for children's bath clothes, fabric is of great importance here, it is advisable to choose ivory or white. Such a canvas will not cause allergies and will not fade. The determining length is the volume of the chest, 15 centimeters should be added to it. The length of the attribute of girls is measured from the knee to the armpits, and for boys - from the waist to the knee. You can decorate a children's product with embroidery, ribbons, appliqué with animals, fairy-tale heroes and cartoon characters, but pebbles and beads are not recommended as decoration, they can melt or heat up excessively.
