Áo dài is the embodiment of Vietnamese women despite going through many historical periods, the perfect combination of each fold on each segment of the shirt with the female body. That highlights the softness, flexibility, and grace, very feminine, and very poetic. But behind that Áo dài are "heroic, indomitable, loyal, courageous" souls ready to dye their clothes to "rob" the country's peace from the brutal colonialists. Whether peace or war, it is undeniable that the strong fire in each Vietnamese woman still desires to burn, to be immortal, and to be strong.
