The first Hawaiian dress was the Muu-muu, a
loose fitting dress that was introduced to the
Hawaiian women in the early 1800's by the
missionaries.
It was in the 1900's that the Pakemuu, the
Holomu and the Holoku were born.
The Pakemuu was an Oriental inspired dress with
long wing like sleeves and a split in the bottom.
The Holomu with its ruffled collar was the
forerunner of the Holoku, the formal full
length
dress of the fifties.
