Mushanana

The mushanana (plural: mishanana) is the traditional ceremonial dress of women in Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda.[1] It consists of a wrapped skirt bunched at the hips and a sash draped over one shoulder, typically worn over a tank top or bustier. The fabric used for the mushanana may be any color and is often gauzy and lightweight to create a flowing effect. Mushananas are no longer frequently used as daily wear, but rather are worn on formal occasions such as to attend church services, weddings or funerals.[2] They are standard costumes for female dancers in Intore dance troupes.
Mushanana is also worn by the Bafumbira women from Kisoro District[3] in the Kigezi sub-region in western Uganda.
