awww soon :) imm thinking about making one for my wedding dress :DDD

Hiii, I think it's okay if you wear it. Just wear it on the special occasions. I'm Vietnamese myself but I find myself not being able to wear an Ao Dai by myself when there isn't an event (IE: We actually had a spirit week where you'd dress culturally but I was nervous that I'd be the only one wearing it) because I'd feel like I stand out too much, especially when it catches many people's eyes. But it still would've been okay to do so because you're embracing x culture that day. I've just wore it to school a couple months back during a school celebration for Lunar New Year, that's another good time to wear an ao dai. Think of it this way, you brought yourself a costume, it's Halloween and you decide to wear it. But once Halloween is over, it wouldn't be as appropriate to wear it as to during Halloween because you really like the costume that you've picked out. I know that's not the best example but my point was that you should find the appropriate day to wear it. People usually wear Chinese/Vietnamese dresses when it's Lunar New Year or like a wedding, those are a few appropriate times where it is totally okay to wear it, after all, it symbolizes good luck and fortune. I think my mother wore plain ao dai in a photo with her friends during the years that she was still living in Vietnam. Just long story short because I feel like I'm totally annoying, repetitive, and terrible at explaining but I'm sure you can find the right time to wear it and appreciate it. It can go both ways depending on who is viewing this as. Maybe my opinion wouldn't matter but I can see that you appreciate the dress and perhaps even the Vietnamese culture, I wouldn't be upset if you wore an Ao dai. :)

I appreciate the input, especially from someone of Vietnamese background :) I'll probably save it for weddings and nice occasions. Thank you!

You're going to look great in it!:)

ooo alll valid points! and thank you:) it was my first time making one and i had no idea wear to start haha the gathers on the skirt definitely got poofy and the dress form was also a little off. The chambray was also thicker than traditional ao dai fabric. There's a lot of things that could've been done differently but still learning... one day i hope i can work with an ao dai expert :)

thank you

thank you!!! :D
