I never used to be into it, and even thought that it was silly looking back in my younger days. Nowadays, I can't think of anything hotter on a Vietnamese woman! :D The dress is so elegant, flowy, and custom made to flatter every figure. Younger females wear the traditional white color up through their high school years (it is still being used as the official school "uniform" in many areas--HOT!!), and after high school it is worn with bolder colors and designs. I prefer the simplicity of the white design--which symbolizes innocence and purity.
Enough jabber; just so you know I'm not making this up, here are some pics followed by my drawings of the dress:
Even Miss Universe 2008, which took place in Vietnam, had all their contestants don the dress:

I will probably finish/color these for upcoming prints (probably scam my pal Jon Alderink into messing with them).
