Folkwear Patterns

Considered aloha attire, this loose and breezy garment has its origins in the 1800s when missionaries adapted their Mother Hubbard style dresses to fit Hawaiian women. Originally a tool of assimilation, native Hawaiians have since embraced this dress as were it social events, family gatherings, and for some styles of hula. The mu umu u s popularity has spread worldwide due to its comfort, ease of wear, and colorful prints.
