| The Traditional Crow's Beak Kerchief

The traditional attire of Vietnamese women in the north of the country in the old days included a four-flap dress covering a “yem” style brassier, a kerchief and a flat palm hat with fringes. As time went on and social patterns changed, the attire has evolved to suit the wearers' daily activities, but some items, including the kerchief, have been retained and help in preserving national culture. |
