The Back StoryMore: A loose ankle-length dress, these garments were introduced in 1820 by
missionaries. Concerned about the immodest dress (nakedness) of
Hawaiian women, appropriate western-style attire was one of the first
goals of religious conversion. Originally Mu’umu’us were slips worn
under holoku gowns that were adapted in style to accommodate large
Hawaiian women and the hot, tropical climate.
