Thank you very much. You have been very helpful.

It seems strange that an apron would be like a sarong/pareo as aprons don't usually cover the back of your legs and just the strings are tied around your waist. I found this website that has various models, in fact I had no idea that there were so many! http://www.waitstuff.com/restaurant-aprons.html

"Wraparound, wrap around, or wrap-around"... is anything that wraps around something (wikipedia). Similar to a pareo (sarong).
