That Muumuu that you do

Today’s generation probably don’t know the term, but back in the 70s, everyone knew what a “Muumuu” was.

It was a dress style that was a huge hit around that decade. Known for it’s oversized silhouette and vibrant prints, it was the perfect lounge dress.

Growing up, Mom had a lot of muumuus in her closet, and it was her go-to house dress (as well as her mahjong dress.)

Spotted a dress from the SheIn x Frida Kahlo collab, and it was giving full-on muumuu vibes. That’s the reason it snatched my attention and eventually purchased it.


While the shape is muumuu, the print is modern, and the asymmetric ruffled hem is also a contemporary touch. Those details make it cross over from the 70s to today.

That’s how you do muumuu,
