Originally, it was a long dress made of brightly colored and printed cotton fabric, with an open waistline. It originated from clothes given to native Hawaiian women by missionaries, but its prototype was a gown-like dress with a yoke on the chest called Mother Hubbard, worn in the mainland United States from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. When the yoke was omitted (called muumuu in Hawaiian), it came to be called this. It was worn by Hawaiian women as home wear and casual wear, but gradually the designs became more diverse, and dressy versions with a cut-out waistline and cinched waistline are worn as semi-formal wear. In Japan, it became popular from the early 1960s, and is worn as summer home wear and resort wear.

本来、明るい色柄の木綿のプリント地を用いた、ウエスト・ラインを締めない丈長のドレス。宣教師がハワイの土着民の婦人に与えた服に由来するが、その原型は、19世紀末から20世紀初頭にかけてアメリカ本土で着用されたマザー・ハバードという、胸にヨークのあるガウン風のドレスだった。このヨークが省かれた(ハワイ語でムームー)ところから、この名でよばれるようになった。ハワイの婦人に家庭着やカジュアル・ウエアとして着用されていたが、しだいにデザインが多様化し、ウエスト・ラインで切り替えを入れて締めたドレッシーなものは、セミ・フォーマルウエアとして着用されている。日本では1960年(昭和35)代初期より普及し、夏の家庭着やリゾート・ウエアとして着用されている。 [田村芳子] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
