First appearing during the reign of Lord Nguyen Phuc Khoat in the South, around 1744, the Giao Linh dress at that time was large in size, the body of the dress was sewn from 4 pieces of fabric, reaching to the heel, slit on both sides, long sleeves, wide cuffs. The dress was worn with a black skirt inside and a fabric belt outside.

Every time a woman wears the Ao Dai, she shows her gentleness, elegance, and splendor, which no other outfit can match.
