You say one size fits ‘most’. What are the measurements of the mumu and what sizes does it really fit?
Part of mumu philosophy is one size fits most. But as a general rule the mumu should fit a size 00-12 and your height will only change the creations to which you wear it. Exact measurements are: 29 inches from shoulder to hem, 20 inches wide in the middle, 28 inches wide at the bottom.
