Vietnam & her dear friend, Y/N or Thuy. Vietnam is not wearing historically accurate clothing since the slim shape of the áo dài didn’t become fashionable until the 40s, c. WW2 or post-WW2. Reader or OC is wearing the áo giao lĩnh.
If I can do this over again, I would redraw Vietnam’s ao dai as an ao giao linh.

Disclaimer, I don’t think Y/N or Thuy would be in the right to wear one since it’s meant for aristocrats but I had to cover up the modern-day polo. There’s also the question of cross dressing since the way it’s worn for men is different from women, and Reader is supposed to be female for my fanfic. I don’t know, insert disguising-as-man trope here, like Elizabeth Swann. Yet, I’ve seen modern-day photos are pretty and the models wear it similar to the men?
The person in the photo is ambiguous so if you want to use the photo, but worried about who they are, not to worry! The description and tags included women, girl, man, and boy.
