muumuu. Missionaries in Hawaii didn’t approve of nudity and provided local women with Mother Hubbard dresses to cover themselves. These shapeless dresses lacked a yoke, ap- pearing as if they were cut off at the neck, and the women called them muumuus, from the Hawaiian word for “cut off.” Adapted somewhat over the years, made more colorful for one thing, the muumuu became the typical Hawaiian dress and in time became popular worldwide as a loose-hanging housedress. |
