Misses Extra Small to Extra Large.

This feminine ensemble of flowing Tunic and wide-legged pants is considered the traditional costume of Vietnam.

The easy-sew Tunic features front and back waist shaping darts, mandarin collar, front neckline/armhole opening, tapered long sleeves with elbow darts, and long free-hanging front and back panels.  We include a traditional sleeve option and a fitted sleeve option.

The Pants have an easy full-legged fit, center back zipper, and faced waistline.

Suggested fabrics: Lightweight, drapey fabrics such as silk, polyester, or cotton gauze for Tunic and/or Pants; also embroidered brocade for Tunic.  Ao Dai pants are typically white; the Tunic can be plain white, a plain or patterned color, or the traditional red and gold for a wedding garment.
