Red Dao women's costumes.

People often buy raw brocade fabric from highland villages, then dye it, embroider patterns, and sew it into dresses by themselves. In the costumes with red as the main color - the color symbolizing happiness, luck, and creating a lot of positive energy - the patterns are completely hand-embroidered with images close to life. Each costume not only reflects the rich cultural identity but is also a way for the Red Dao people to preserve traditional culture for future generations.

It takes many days to embroider motifs and patterns on the garment to complete a dress.

Many women in Duong Hong commune learn traditional costume embroidery.

In order to preserve and promote traditional crafts, local authorities regularly organize traditional costume embroidery competitions at the end of the year.
