Then-and-now Vietnam

The photo above describes the before-and-after Vietnamese girl. The Vietnamese girl is known for a long dress and a conic hat shown in the lefthand side of the photo that has attracted the attention of international tourists to visit Vietnam. However, most of them have mistaken for it. It would say that the image of a Vietnamese girl clad in a long dress mostly appears on calendars and papers only. 

The righthand side photo is a current image of a Vietnam girl. Due to the western influence and following the existing trend, the Vietnamese have lost their unique traditional clothing that had spellbound millions of people as their long dress embodies their gracefulness of the silhouette.
