Royal Costumes

Costumes are one of the factors that reflect cultural imprints in each era and are an important component of the lifestyle of a region or a nation.

Ngu Than Attire

Is a type of traditional Vietnamese costume. It has high collar straight and square, with 5 buttons made of metal, jade or wood. The shirt has five bodies representing the four mothers and fathers, and one inside represents himself (the wearer). The hem of the shirt is not tight, but wide, the lower it is, the more it spreads and the tail is curved. There are two main types: Áo ngũ thân tay chẽn (sleeves are tightly tied to the wearer's hand) and Áo ngũ thân tay thụng (also known as the tunic).

Nhật Bình Attire

The Nhật Bình attire is a traditional royal costume worn by noblewomen and princesses during the Nguyễn Dynasty in Vietnam. Characterized by its square collar and flowing silhouette, the garment features intricate hand-embroidered motifs symbolizing prosperity, harmony, and imperial elegance.

What makes Nhật Bình attire at Ancient Hue different from others?

‍While many local tailors produce beautiful and high-quality Nhật Bình garments, Ancient Hue takes authenticity and craftsmanship to the highest level. We collaborate with master artisans who are not just experienced tailors, but are the very same craftsmen serving the Hue Monuments Conservation Centre within the Imperial City (Đại Nội). These specialists dedicate their work to preserving royal garments for museums and state heritage, ensuring every stitch and embroidery detail in our Nhật Bình is as historically accurate and culturally refined as possible. This level of authenticity and hand embroidery is rarely found elsewhere.
