The "Ao dai"_ Viet Nam traditional costumes

I like "Ao dai" so so much, we wear it in highshool as uniform, so when I come back my memories I have special feel with "Ao dai".

Vietnamese woman really proud of and feel confident, elegant, girly when they wear it in their special events: wedding, festival, going pagoda... 

And have some famous "Ao dai" designer in Vietnam that I verry admire as Minh Hanh, Cong Tri.

The "Ao dai" means long shirt.

Designer: Minh Hanh

Body form

How to make a body form (Threadbanger) (by duct tape)

It's very cheap and make you have the big change in your sewing work, in case you can't buy a good body form.
I will make one as soon as possible.
In addition, when I was bkoren my leg, the hospital fixed my leg by something materials, I don't know what it call, but I think it can used to make a body form too.

I think this one also helpful for sketching, but I can't find it anywhere, if you know please tell me, thank you so much!

If you can, I think this one is the best.
