Ao Dai – symbolic costume of Vietnamese women

Throughout each period, Ao Dai designs have been renovated to suit the needs of society. Ao Dai is now not only a symbolic costume of Vietnamese women but also a representation of Vietnam’s cultural identity in the context of its international integration.
