This specific dress is worn to school, wedding ceremonies, funerals, the temple, work, etc. My cousin works in an office so on certain days she is required to wear a Vietnamese long dress and my niece is required to wear one when she attends school. Since both of my parents are full Vietnamese when I went back to Vietnam during the Summer for my brother’s wedding, I had to get one made and wear it for his wedding. Wearing that dress made me feel like I was reconnecting with my Vietnamese roots because I live in Hawaii and I don’t get to encounter a lot of Vietnamese people besides my family
