Anyone ever heard of a goddess wrap?

It may go by other names, but that's what they're called locally. I get the general idea of how to make them, two layers of a lightweight fabric (in this specific case, silk from retired saris), sewn together with a long band made from one of the two layers of fabric.

I'm wondering if anyone has any idea how wide (as in, the longest part, wrapping around waist/body) each of the layers should be? The length (from waist to thigh/knee/ankle) depends on where you'd want it to sit, so I can measure that out, but the width of the layers and that of the band, which seems much longer, is hard to get a grasp on, since I don't have $50 to shell out for one of these, and I doubt they'd like me taking one off the rack and measuring it out.

Any ideas?

Here's a link of what I'm talking about (this is Medium/knee skirt length)

Tara, I thought that initially, but it's a completely different construction... You don't make a tube with a casing in by the looks of it... it looks like an extended waist band making straps at either side of a glorified and very, very wide apron.

I REALLY like the look of these! Happy x

That looks really beautiful. I'm not sure if its the same as an infinity dress but it looks amazing and its very similar in that it can be worn millions of different ways.
