Micronesian skirts, often called lava-lava or sarongs, are traditional wrap-around garments worn by women (and sometimes men) in the Micronesian islands. They are usually made from brightly colored fabrics with floral, geometric, or tribal patterns.
Features of Micronesian Skirts:
Wrap-around Design: Tied at the waist, making them adjustable and comfortable.
Lightweight Fabric: Usually made from cotton or rayon, suitable for the tropical climate.
Cultural Significance: Worn in daily life, ceremonies, and dances.
Modern Variations: Some are tailored with elastic waistbands or decorative trims and sizes.
