For the first time since being crowned, the top 3 winners of Miss Vietnam 2018 have flaunted their charming beauty in royal-style Ao Dai (Vietnamese traditional dress).
As many as 50 craft villages and establishments with 300 artisans nationwide have registered to attend the upcoming 2019 Hue Traditional Craft Festival, which is set to open in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue on April 26.
Handicraft products and Ao dai (traditional long dress) of Vietnam have been introduced to people of Bangladesh and international friends at the 3rd international craft festival, which was held recently in Dhaka.
