Vietnamese Ao dai is a special dress with a long history that suits Vietnamese women of all ages. The dress's hypnotic charm has also won foreign friends' hearts through domestic and international fashion shows.

The costume has been regarded as a great work of art, a national beauty, and a symbol of Vietnamese women's identity and spirit. Because of such great significance, Vietnamese women usually wear Ao dai on important occasions.
