I sell a lot of muumuus in my Hawaiian shirt store they seem to be a
staple for the elderly and in fact I have had so many women come into the store
looking for tropical dresses in younger styles because they say Muumuu’s are
for Grandmothers. So I started stocking younger looking dresses for women who
didn’t want to buy a muumuu.
One
of our new styles is very popular it had straps for the shoulders, elastic in
the upper back and a flounced hemline that falls slightly above the knee so it
is a really good dress for a summery day or a luau or it can be worn to work
along with a jacket for a more professional look. I just kind of assumed no
young women would want to be seen in a muumuu however I was in for a surprise
the following week.
A
beautiful young girl in her twenties came to my store looking for a party dress
for a luau. I saw her looking in the muumuu section and referred her to the
tropical dresses more fitting for her age but she said she wanted to dress
respectfully for her Grandfather and would prefer a more traditional look. I
thought that was such a beautiful sentiment to want to please her Grandfather
with a modest look so she tried on our Mid-Calf Navy Muumuu and it looked great
on her. She was happy this muumuu came with 2 pockets so she could have her
cell in one pocket and her keys in the other.
She
also picked out a beautiful, white plumeria hair clip and a pair of matching
earrings to complete her look. I asked her what type of shoes she was going to
wear but she said it was a backyard luau and shoes were optional, but most of
the family would be barefoot including her Grandfather. She was such a
pleasant young lady and she will look fabulous at her Grandfathers luau.
