I have a collection of ao dai in my wardrobe. Every year, I would go to an Ao Dai garment shop to sew a new set for myself, reserved for special occasions and photo shoots. The ao dai has a unique design that brings out the feminine and elegant side of anyone who wears it, no matter their shape or age.
Out of all the ao dai that I own, there is one that I wore only once in my lifetime. It was a beautiful, ocean blue ao dai with intricate lily patterns embroidered around the collar and down the hem. I had it custom-made by a famous designer in Hanoi for my daughter's wedding in 2009, a momentous day that will forever be etched in my memory.
That ao dai witnessed the joy and tears of that day, as I held my precious daughter in my arms and watched her start her own family. It was a fulfillment of a mother's happiness, one that I believe every mother can relate to.
Today, I want to give this ao dai as a special gift to a French woman who loves Vietnamese culture. I hope that when you wear this ao dai, it will bring you as much joy and fulfillment as it did for me on that special day.
