A moo moo dress (also called muumuu) is a very colorful and comfy Hawaiian dress. The name basically means “cut-off.” The dress was named so as it lacked a yoke. It is basically a loose dress that hangs from the shoulder. Moo moo was first introduced in the 1800s, when the Christian Missionaries came to Hawaii. They introduced the moo moo, basically to act as a cover for those women who wore only skirts. It has transformed a lot since then to emerge as a fashionable clothing option today. It is available in bright colors as well as subdued hues.
The Merrie Monarch Festival is a cultural festival in Hawaii where moo moo dresses are worn. They are the preferred formal dress for weddings as well. Women in the hotel industry wear them as uniforms. Due to their comfort, moo moo dresses are perfect for older women as well.

But anybody can wear it as there are different fits and styles available today.

Mid-Lengths

Ruffled Neckline
Ruffled necklines give a classic and elegant look to the dress instantly. They come in simple V, round, or square neckline.
Accessories
Most fashionistas say no to moo moo dresses, as they look literally like sacks. Without any definition they look very loose and boring. It is believed that they are only for old ladies. This is definitely not true! Yes, you can use it as a house dress or for a short trip to the grocer. But, you can also wear it to a party. Give the traditional dress a glamorous twist and flaunt your unique style! Correct accessorizing can instantly give you a stylish look.
Belts
The main reason most women don’t like a moo moo dress is that it lacks structure. We mean that it just hangs from your body. Well, we have a solution for it―belts! Using belts will give your dress some definition. Since, most of them are very colorful and have bold prints, opt for a belt in a dark and solid color.
Hats
Get the Hawaiian look by wearing huge hats. Avoid wearing very colorful hats, as your dress is already very bright. Go for trendy hats in nude colors or classic black or gray.
Strappy Sandals
Shoes make or break a dress! Go in for stylish strappy sandals to instantly glam your look.
