The áo nhật bình was worn by the queen dowagers, queens, princesses, ladies-in-waiting, and imperial maids during the Nguyễn dynasty. The nhật bình of the royal women had elaborate embroideries including flowers and phoenixes. The nhật bình of the ladies-in-waiting and imperial maids were significantly more plain with no embroideries. After the end of the Nguyễn dynasty, the nhật bình was worn by aristocrats as wedding dresses and by entertainers for traditional performances.

This is a series on Vietnamese historical clothing. I will have many videos on clothing throughout Vietnamese history. This is to promote Việt phục and show people that Vietnamese traditional & historical clothing consists of more than just the áo dài.

*Note: the script I'm using in these videos are chữ Nôm & Hán tự. These are scripts used to be used in Vietnam up until the end of Nguyễn dynasty. Chữ Nôm is a mixture of Hán tự (Chinese characters) and Nôm (Vietnamese characters) with Vietnamese grammar. Most ancient clothing of Vietnam use only Hán tự because many of the words are Sino-Vietnamese. Learn more at http://www.nomfoundation.org/
