“Áo giao lãnh”
(around the 17th Century)

The primitive version was the “Giao Lanh”, four-flap dress which was the original version of ‘áo tứ thân’. The long flaps were not tied together, but hung freely or left intersected. The clothes were worn with a type of camisole, a long black dress and a colored fabric belt used to tie up around the waist.
