Most foreign visitors are deeply impressed by Ao Dai Vietnam and also impressed by the beauty of women dressed in Ao Dai (Long Dress) - The most popular and widely-recognized Vietnamese National Costume
(TRAVPR.COM) PLEASE SELECT - November 29th, 2014 - The most popular and widely-recognized Vietnamese National Costume is the Ao Dai (Long Dress Vietnam). Ao Dai were once worn by both genders but today it is worn mainly by females, except for certain important traditional culture-related occasions such as weddings or funerals where some men do wear it. Ao Dai consist of a long gown with a slit on both sides, worn over cotton or silk trousers. Ao Dai are elegant and comfortable to wear.
Early versions of the Ao Dai date back to 1744 when Lord Vu Vuong of the Nguyen Dynasty in Hue decreed both men and women should wear an ensemble of trousers and a gown that buttoned down the front. However, not until 1930 did Ao Dai appear partly similar to its look today.
In daily life, the traditional Vietnamese styles are now replaced by Western styles. Traditional clothing is worn instead on special occasions, with the exception of the white Ao Dai commonly seen with high school girls in Vietnam.
Most foreign visitors are deeply impressed by Ao Dai Vietnam and also impressed by the beauty of women dressed in Ao Dai. There are many shops making Ao Dai in Ho Chi Minh City, Hue, Hoi An, Ha Noi where visitors will come and choose fabrics, design, then give the tailor their measurements of body and address. During appointed time, Ao Dai will be brought to visitors’ place for trying. If they do not fit, the clothes will be mended to be suitable for your body.
