Vietnamese women participate in all professions in society, with the motto "capable of national affairs and duteous at housework".
Ao Dai, formerly known as the Ao Dai, was created during the costume reform in 1744 in southern Vietnam. Experiencing many improvements and modifications, Ao Dai now becomes rich in design but still retains typical common features. Ao Dai is considered a traditional costume of Vietnam and is used in most daily activities of Vietnamese people.
