I’ve enjoyed reading the advise to Genekin regarding her mom wearing muumuus.
It reminded me of this advice given out about proper attire for interviews during a hurricane.
A weather station was reminding the audience that it was storm season on the Gulf Coast. If a news van pulls into your driveway, the reporter cautioned, Remember teeth and bras people, TEETH AND BRAS!!
My mom got a catalogue called National,, very nice clothes for older women ( although all the models appeared to be in their 30 or 40s.. LOL) and alot of the dresses are what I would call muumuus. My cousin in TX who is maybe 60 also wears what I would call the same. They seem comfortable and decent. I agree., if this is the worst you are dealing with then you are lucky!
How delightful this post was! I am way past menopause but it is so hot these days. I ditch the bra when I’m home! Hooray for mu mus! Let her wear them proudly 💜🙏🏻😍
Guys...I was looking at muumuus on Amazon the other week. I think I've hit peak menopause! It's so hot & muggy and I just want a loose cover up so I don't shock the neighbors...Am concerned in case I look like Mrs. Roper from 'Threes Company''. I say roll with your mom's sartorial choices!
Lately I have been wearing a short and shirt like set but are really pajamas. So comforatable. I am done with dresses, tight jeans or anything that is uncomfortable.
What's wrong with your mom wearing her mumus in public? Most are quite beautiful, and they look very comfortable as well. I'm sure she is just more cool and comfortable in them, and they're really not just for sleeping in. Joan Rivers used to say how she wore her mumus even to entertain guests at her penthouse. If that is the only problem you have with your mom, you best count your blessings!
BE GRATEFUL MOM IS DRESSED! Mom often forgets her top.....
I own a bunch of muumuuus. They are light and comfy and I really don't CARE if my kids or neighbors see me. They are sold as 'casual dresses' and I will go to my grave in comfort!
A friend just had shoulder surgery. She also has scoliosis, very severe, and dressing is a huge challenge. Yet she insists on tight t shirts and jeans, making the whole 'hunchback' look MUCH more noticeable. (I do not mean to offend by that term--I just can't think of what it's really called)
They told her to buy some very loose fitting clothes for post op as she cannot raise her arms at all. She was crying about not being able to afford anything and I just went online and bought her 4 lovely, large, flowy muumuus. I did shorten then a LOT, since she is very bowed over. She seemed grateful--but I have not talked to her since her surgery. I know that these just drop over her head and she's all ready to go.
I'm 13 years older than she is, and while I KNOW she feels like she's now dressing like an old lady (I'm 65)...at least she CAN get dressed.
On a funny note--for my first chemo when I had cancer, I didn't know what to expect, so I wore a flowered muumuu to the cancer center. DH was appalled--what was I THINKING? I should go back and get dressed properly. I told him this was about ME, not HIM and I needed to be comfortable. I get to the infusion clinic and there were 2 other women dressed in the exact same muumuu as mine, just different colors.

I'm so sorry that a latent love of Muumuus has taken over your thread...but it did draw Alva back, so kudos to you : )
I am way past menopause but it is so hot these days.
I ditch the bra when I’m home!
Hooray for mu mus!
Let her wear them proudly 💜🙏🏻😍
I say roll with your mom's sartorial choices!
Outside, I mostly wear loose fitting dresses that pop over my head.
I am 57, and DONE with being uncomfortable in hard pants.
I always thought that the flowy mumus that The Golden Girls wore were just beautiful. That’s the look that I’m going for now! 😂🤣
Hi, Alva! Miss your replies!
