Are muumuus and caftans the same thing?
1 Answer
No caftans and muumuus are not the same thing. A caftan is a dress with full sleeves and a loose cut that originated in the Middle East. Muumuus are long, loose Hawaiian dresses that typically hang off one shoulder. Shop a selection of dresses from some of the world's top boutiques on 1stDibs.
