Ao dai is the embodiment of the Vietnamese people, a characteristic of a country with hard-working and self-sacrificing women. Through many periods of development, the ao dai has constantly changed but still ensures its tradition, contributing to the elegant, gentle, sexy and discreet beauty that no other outfit has. Until now, it is still unclear where the origin of the Vietnamese ao dai began exactly, but based on the heroic historical context of the nation, researchers have come to a common consensus that this national costume appeared thousands of years ago. Ao dai not only lives in the hearts of Vietnamese people but is also incorporated into art, becoming a part of the Vietnamese soul in the homeland or around the world.
