Good evening
Okay, so I'm watching an old Bruce Willis movie dubbed into French with a French friend. A few minutes ago, there was a woman in a muumuu (just learned that there were four u's instead of two by the way), pointing out a suspiciously parked car.
The 'always reliable' Wikopedia has this to say...
Thanks in advance
If this is the case, is it pronounced mumu as in mutation or moumou as in mouton?
If this is not the case, is there a general term other than 'robe' in French that would describe this article of women's clothing ?

I assume that muumuu is also used in French, since it's a word of Hawaiian origin.
