Muʻumuʻu

A vintage Mamo Howell. Then weaving and lei hulu at the Eva Parker Muʻumuʻu Cottage.

After sharing the box of fabrics with her sister and brother-in-law they challenged her to wear them out and about. It quickly inspired me to create a collection based off of these classic designs. At every backyard party all my aunties were wearing these beautiful, bright patterned dresses that showcased the plants and flowers of the islands. I remember my great auntie wore this beautiful blue and white one with hau flowers and lei on it almost every time I saw her, even if she was just working in the yard. Then I sketch a bunch of different patterns. A: I love this collection for so many reasons.

By the time the missionaries got here on 4 April , Hawaiian women were very familiar with European clothing and fashion. They were nothing new. Hawaiian people already had been wearing European clothing, occasionally as full suits, more often individual pieces as fashion accessories, for decades. Kamehameha, himself, often dressed in European clothing. Women at sea was not the rarity the common English narrative would have us believe. Most of us have heard the stories of women who disguised themselves as men and went to sea. There also were many women who sailed as women , to the extent of captaining their own ships, though that was more common in Asia than in Europe. A number of ship captains, both merchants and whalers, sailed with their families on-board. A captains wife often trained in navigation. Caroline Mayhew, wife of Captain William Mayhew, knew navigation and practical medicine. She took over as captain and cared for her husband and those crew who were ill, saving their lives. We know her high rank by the lei niho palaoa carved whale-tooth necklace she wears. Louis Choris painted this in , four years before the American missionaries arrived. We can see that Hawaiian women already were interested in world fashion well before the missionaries arrived.

The days of Hawaiian women being content with a simple wrap skirt and shawl were muʻumuʻu forever, muʻumuʻu.

The fabric is from Spoonflower. All of a sudden, that garment and fabric is all the rage and all the upper class want them.

Join us on social during the month of January by sharing the hashtag ALOHAMuumuu to show us how you celebrate MuumuuMonth for a chance to be featured on our social pages! I was admiring the gorgeous lei hulu. She took over as captain and cared for her husband and those crew who were ill, saving their lives. Love Spooner cloth as it breathes so well. Above: The "latest" purse in-progress, the lauhala outer part in background, next to the previous "short" purse with bark cloth. Last night, or early this morning really, I finished another purse. This was a huge status and fashion coup for her. A captains wife often trained in navigation. She wanted to be in the lead of the fashion trends and made a point of greeting them as soon as possible.

Note the variety of clothing styles, from Hawaiian to European.

A year ago Shannon Hiramoto was browsing the Salvation Army thrift store in Lihue when she came across a short muumuu , with bright pink and purple flowers and a ruffled neckline.

Her own experience living in the highest circles of political power had taught her how and with whom to make alliances. The main one for me is nostalgia. Above: Aloha and Cara.

If the missionary women had ever truly attempted to cover the bodies of Hawaiian women to keep the pure eyes of their missionary men from being tempted by lusts of the flesh, they failed miserably. All of a sudden, that garment and fabric is all the rage and all the upper class want them. She needed no handouts. In her hair is a large comb, possibly of shell or ivory.
