I got my
engagement ao dai! I am very happy! I'll be wearing it to my Le Dinh Hon.
My family in Vietnam was so gracious as to get it made for me. I sent them the picture in the link below. It was made during Tet so it took about one month to get done, which is unusually long, but I told them that I didn't need it until August so the seamstresses pushed it last on the list. Now my uncle from Cali who is visiting Vietnam is going to go pick it up for me.
My other route would have been to order from Ao Dai Vinh or another similar website with good reviews. But the S&H would have been the cost of the ao dai. I was glad to get to avoid that.
Here's what my ao dai looks like!
