A fashion show was held in Viet Tri City of Phu Tho province on April 22 to set three Guinness Vietnam records for Ao Dai, the traditional long dress of Vietnamese women.
A 178m-long and 200kg dress is up for the title The Longest Ao Dai in Vietnam. The dress has been made for two months from hundreds of meters of tafta, voile, silk brocade, sparkling crystal, brocade lotus petals, and voile lotus leafs. (Photo: TPO)
