Fabric Suggestions for 160 Hawaiian Mu'umu'u

May 30, 2025

We have a number of fabrics in stock right now that would be perfect for making our 160 Hawaiian Mu'umu'u!  This pattern calls for fabric that has a bit of drape or flow to it.  And, traditionally, it would be made with bright colors and large floral or tropical prints.  A lightweight (not too crisp) cotton is a great choice, but a rayon or viscose would give even more flow.  Or a cotton/rayon blend would be great.  A lightweight linen can also be nice, even in a solid color, for a more conservative look.  There are a lot of options and we are going to list some great choices below.  What fabric would you make this dress in?

I really love this parrot print viscose challis from Italy.  The print is a little small for a typical mu'umu'u but has a tropical theme (the parrots are cute).  And the fabric has a gorgeous drape and is really fun!
