Definition of the Hawaiian Muumuu dress

noun
1. a long, loose-hanging dress, usually brightly colored or patterned, worn especially by Hawaiian women.
2. a similar dress worn as a housedress.

First recorded in 1920-25, muumuu is from the Hawaiian word mu'umu'u name of the dress, literally, cut-off; so called because it originally lacked a yoke also muu-muu, 1923, from Hawaiian mu'u mu'u, literally "cut off," the name given to the local adaptation of the dresses given to Island women in the early 1900s. Christian missionaries "in the early days when a few flowers sufficed for a garment" [Don Blanding, "Hula Moons," 1930]. So called because the native style hangs from the shoulder and omits the high neck and the train.

The muumuu /'mu'mu'/ or mu'umu'u (Hawaiian pronunciation: [moo moo]) is a loose dress of Hawaiian origin that hangs from the shoulder. Like the Aloha shirt, muumuu exports are often brilliantly colored with floral patterns of generic Polynesian motifs. Muumuus for local Hawaiian residents are more subdued in tone. Muumuus are no longer as widely worn at work as the aloha shirt, but continue to be the preferred formal dress for weddings and festivals such as the Merrie Monarch hula competition. Muumuus are also popular as maternity wear because they do not restrict the waist.

MuuMuu dresses, the loose fitting unbelted dress designed for women of all sizes, originated in Hawaii. Many decades ago, missionaries went to Hawaii and found the women wearing nothing more than a skirt cloth wrapped around the hips and tied on the side. Their breasts were completely bare. The missionaries designed a loose, comfortable garment and taught the women to cover their bodies in the tradition of other lands. This style came to be known as the MuuMuu and, as it became fashionable, floral cloth featuring popular Hawaiian designs such as ginger blossoms, hibiscus, orchids, bird of paradise, plumeria, and other brightly colored fabric became the choice for many MuuMuus.


Today, the MuuMuu is loved by many larger sized women because these Hawaiian plus size dresses are comfortable as well as attractive. They are still worn by many women who call Hawaii home but are also seen around the world, worn by women of all sizes, but the most popular market is in plus size ladies wear. Some plus size women love to create their own MuuMuus using sewing patterns, while others who aren't talented with the sewing machine, purchase ready-made designs. A plus size Hawaiian MuuMuu allows the fabric to flow comfortably around a woman's body, while other clothing can be quite restricting, making movement uncomfortable. Many women who love MuuMuus have designs in every color and pattern imaginable and wear them almost every day due to the comfort and practicality of the garment.

MuuMuu dresses are not just for Hawaiian parties, even on the Mainland and in other countries. The muumuu is well-loved by smaller size ladies as a comfortable garment to wear around the house for lounging. Everyone loves the bright, colorful designs found in muumuu dresses no matter what your size.
