I don't know if MUMU is correct; is it MUMMU? HMMMM...no red line under either spelling. Too ugly to face. Let's use two M's. Done. BRING BACK THE MUMMU. Diane, we need you. A beautiful MUMMU to throw on when I come home wet from head to toe... not a caftan. Caftan/Kaftan:
1. caftan - a woman's dress style that imitates the caftan cloaks worn by men in the Near East
kaftan
dress, frock - a one-piece garment for a woman; has skirt and bodice
2. caftan - a (cotton or silk) cloak with full sleeves and sash reaching down to the ankles; worn by men in the Levant
kaftan
cloak - a loose outer garment
WAIT: It's a MUU MUU!
Muumuu
The muumuu or muʻumuʻu (English pronunciation: /ˈmuːmuː/) is a loose dress of Hawaiian origin[1] that hangs from the shoulder. Like the Aloha shirt, muumuu exports are often brilliantly colored with floral patterns of generic Polynesian motifs. Muumuu for local Hawaiian residents are more subdued in tone. Muumuu 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. They are also frequently worn as a uniform by women working in the hotel industry. Muumuu are also popular as maternity wear and with obese people because they do not restrict the waist.
Hawaiian Origin. Brilliantly Colored. Floral Patters...There is a lot to work with (and sweat/glow in)!
