Folkwear 160 Hawaiian Mu'umu'u

Buy the 160 Hawaiian Mu'umu'u sewing pattern from Folkwear. This pattern features three views, each with a different sleeve option: sleeveless, short sleeve, and elbow-length sleeve. The short sleeve is bell-shaped, while the longer sleeve has elastic at the cuff and falls to below the elbow. All three dresses feature princess seams, side darts with a cleverly hidden pocket in the dart (optional), and an interior elastic belt to add additional shaping to the front as desired. The back is gathered to a pointed yoke and the front yoke is a smooth crew-neck shape. This dress is a perfect warm-weather outfit for comfort and style.
