‘Ao Dai’ in 1960-1970

In the 1960s, Ao Dai was remodelled to flatter the the curves of the woman’s body. Fabrics were printed with elegant flower patterns and women preferred to have short curly hair in combination with the dress.
The mini Ao Dai, a version designed for practical use and convenience, had slits that extended above the waist and panels that reached only to the knee. This Ao Dai style was very popular amongst female students.
