Gorgeous Nhat Binh ao dai

Nhat Binh ao dai was originally a type of court dress for queens, concubines and princesses of the Nguyen Dynasty. The collar part of the dress has a large rectangular design, and the two-panel part is fixed with lanyard. When the dress is worn, its front part is shaped into a rectangle, so that why the dress is named “Nhat Binh”. The whole body of the dress is often decorated splendidly with round shape and phoenix patterns, interwoven with flower and leaf patterns, and the words of Phuc (happiness), Tho (longevity), etc.

The Nhat Binh ao dai is a precious heritage of the Nguyen Dynasty, it has now become a popular dress of Hue women on the occasion of wedding, and been increasingly chosen by young girls when going sightseeing, and checking in, etc.
