Ao Dai honoured at “Memory of Hanoi” event

Ao Dai has overcome all challenges to become a “national dress”, a symbol of women, the pride of Vietnamese people. People could say, ao dai is “National soul” of Vietnamese women.
Ao Dai – traditional dress of women in Viet Nam, hugging the body, having neckline and knee- length. It was sawn off at the hip, both the sensuous charm, not scanty but still shows the line of a young woman. “Where women Viet Nam – Vietnamese dresses there.” Not merely traditional costumes, but also dresses as a culture to speak of perspectives and spiritual Vietnam package. In other words, it is the “national spirit” of women in Viet Nam.
