Umushanana is the traditional dress of women or men in Rwanda and Burundi. The fabric consists of a long skirt gathered at the hips, a bodice and a scarf draped over one shoulder, and can be any color and is generally lightweight to accentuate the drape 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.
