The traditional women's attire in Eastern Laos commonly consists of the áo dài and the khăn đống. The áo dài, an elegant, form-fitting dress that embraces the body from shoulders to feet, often features a high collar and long or short sleeves depending on the style. The grace and elegance of this attire stem from the harmonious combination of the áo dài and the khăn đống. The khăn đống, a traditional headscarf draped around the head, accentuates the sophisticated and dignified beauty of Eastern Laotian women.

The fabric of the áo dài is typically adorned with intricate and elaborate embroidery or patterns such as lotus flowers, cherry blossoms, dragons, phoenixes, or symbolic imagery with profound spiritual and cultural significance. The meticulous embroidery not only contributes to the artistic beauty but also serves as a representation of culture, tradition, and national pride. These detailed patterns create a refined, alluring, and distinctive appeal for the traditional attire of women in Eastern Laos.
