The North has "ao tu than", "mo ba mo bay",but I dont know if the South has tailors cutting that.聽 A聽 sexy indoor look is "yem dao", backless shoulderless piece of cloth that cover the front, strictly female, normally goes with the pants of Ao dai. They are both more traditional than Ao dai, and mentioned many times in folksong, idioms and stuffs.

Thank you.聽 I think I'll skip the other formal ones and stick with ao dai.

However, I really do want to get yem dao.聽 I would like at least a few of them (4 or more) in different cuts and colors.聽 It's silk, right?

Where can I get them made?聽 How much would they cost?聽 Do all the ao dai makers also make yem dao?

I also saw pictures of yem dao with black skirts, is that common (or is it just the models)?聽 How much is is to get just the pants to go along with yem dao?聽 Do women really just use their ao dai pants with yem dao?

Also, just curious more about yem dao. You said it's an indoor look; is that because it shows so much skin?聽 So women just wear them when working around the house or hanging out; or is it a bit more dressy than that?聽 I also read that yem dao is underwear; do women wear it under normal clothes, too?

Thanks!

Hi. I'll be in Southern Vietnam (HCMC, Can Tho, Mekong Delta) in a few months on a visit.

I'm wondering if anyone here can recommend a tailor who can make ao dai for a reasonable price (decent quality, but not too expensive) or just give advice.聽 Would it be real silk?聽 Could it be done decently in a few days?聽 I might get a few. What's a fair price for one made with decent silk?

The thing is, I'm a man. But I do want to get a regular women's ao dai (for me to wear). Would this cause any issues?

Also, can one get a ao yem made (traditional Vietnamese women's undergarment)? How much would that cost?聽 How would I go about getting it?

Also, any other suggestions for traditional Vietnamese women's clothing I could get made? (not something like empress's clothing, just pretty clothes, preferably silk). What about modern, Vietnamese style clothing(not Western style; something sophisticated and Vietnamese inspired, preferably silk).

This wouldn't cause a stir since I'm a guy, right?
TIA

I have several ao dais made at the tailor shop named Phuong on Pasteur street, near the corner of Pasteur St. and Tran Quoc Toan St., district 1 and 2nd option is the shop behind of outside An Dong market, district 5. The ao dais are tailored and fitted perfectly. The labor cost for having a regular fabric made is 400K/set (it depends on your clothing fabric, the price will be different) and pick it up within 5聽 7 days, they also offer express service within 1 or 2 days. If you ask for a matching hat聽 - kh膬n 膽峄憂g, you may pay an extra amount 80聽 100K.
The tailor shop also sell clothing fabric but I have generally bought it myself. Buying from Ba Chieu/Pham Van Hai/Tan Binh district only costs half of the price from ABC Ao Dai(abcaozai.com) and there will be tons of material from chiffon to voile, silk..and very good quality

Point of etiquette

It's nothing to me, as I know of strange interests. But if you are wanting that for your own use, it might be better if you say upfront that you are gay (or bi) and you want that for your own. Even if you are hetero. Or more eraxtreme, you are a trannie waiting for your operation.

My own experience is that Viets forgive gay and lesbians's strange interests easier than a hetero.聽 And Thai Ladybois is nothing too strange to us.

Of course, this advice might backfire on you, so, ugh, think before you act. If bad luck run you might get a rabid anti-homo... Good luck!
EDIT: I know it's an advice to lie. Well, I didnt say it's good advice.

Thank you for all your posts.聽 I will try emailing her; I know what you mean by saying they might read/write better than they speak (having worked with many non-native English speakers in Asia).聽 It looks like they could do decent work on producing a real yem?聽 I'll prod around at the tailors, too and see what happens .

In regards to a cover story, I understand completely.聽 My only issue is that I'll be accompanied by my wife!聽 (And no, we're not the same size).聽 I am curious as to how likely it is that we'll run into an intolerant tailor and what kind of a negative reaction we might receive.聽 I figured most just care about money, but who knows.聽 What's the worst case scenario?聽 I have very limited familiarity with Vietnamese culture (just a 2-month trip a few years ago), so I'm not totally sure.聽 I did get a skirt and blouse made at one tailor near pham ngu lao.聽 I think they snickered a bit but were fairly accomodating.聽 But, I don't know if they were just an exception or what.

Thanks again
