thumb|right|300px|Rwandese dancers wearing mushananas The umushanana (in plural: imishanana) is the traditional clothing dress of women in Rwanda and Burundi.

It consists of a long skirt gathered at the hips, a bustier and a stole draped over one shoulder. The fabric, which can be of any color, is generally lightweight to accentuate the draping effect.
