Do not buy your ao dai dress at aodaivinh.com!  I received a dress that looked quite different from what was shown on the website.  On the website, style 164 shows a red jacket with embroidered edges and an embroidered dragon and phoenix on the front.  When I received the ao dai, those things that were supposed to be embroidered were painted on!  It looked cheap!  I thought that when I purchased the dress at $100 that I was getting a great deal, but you pay for what you get.  I have contacted the company to complain about the "false advertising" and have not heard a peep from them.  My next step is a credit card dispute.  Do not put yourself through all this to save a few bucks; it's not worth it!

Thanks for the advice! Good luck with your dispute.

Update to my last post on Aodaivinh.com: 

Ao Dai Vinh finally contacted me back after 3 weeks timeframe from the point I first contacted them about the problem. They were apologetic about the issue and agreed to give me a 50% refund, which they did. In terms of the fit, everything fit perfectly. The fabric material of the outer jacket was made out of polyester; the picture on the website looked like satin.  

Oh my god..this company is very bad. I have trusted them since their websit looks proffessional enough. I asked my relative to order Ao Dai for me and my fiance there.HowThey charged my FI $5 extra because his size (yeah right). But we still agreed to pay. Mine was fine but FI ao dai was way too big. Fine, man ao dai should be a little loose. ever, the front of the dress is wrinkle and you could see folds. I took picture and ask my relative to contact them. The owner didn't even come down to talk to my aunt (called a head) and said that they wouldn't do anything unless the person came to the store and wore the dress...They knew that the dress had been shipped oversea and we couldn't do it. They also said it is probably because we didn't know how to wear Ao Dai..I mean come on..how hard could it be..I finally found out the reason..they mis-aligned the buttons so it causes the folds. Now I have to try to fix it myself..so disappointed with this store..DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM..they don't take responsibility for their product.

EVERYONE!!! DO NOT buy anything from AO DAI VINH (www.aodaivinh.com).  I was planning for a year to select several ao dai on line as they seemed very attractive.  Luckily, I had a chance to visit VietNam last year and had to look them up.  In the pooring rain, I was able to locate the shop (nothing like you would expect).  There were no store front just a simple room with a sewing machine.  Since I already knew the dresses I wanted, I asked the owner to pull them up on line so there won't be any misunderstanding.  After spending an hour with her discussing 2 ao dai, I was a bit skepticle but gave them the benefit of the doubt and order them.  I should have trusted my instinct at the time.  She kept telling me that the materials shown on the web were no longer available and that there will be substitutions.  Several fabrics were shown to me in pieces that were not comparable to what was shown on the web.  Finally, she said she'll TRY to get it the same.  What the hell right?  Imagine I had ordered it on line?

Cut to the chase, I had to leave VN early and my friends stayed behind to get the dresses.  When they were brought back to US, they were NOTHING like what I ordered.  I called Ao Dai Vinh in VietNam and complaint.  Well, you guessed it.  Nothing happened and I'm stuck with 2 ao ai at $100 each hanging on my closet.

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THEIR PICTURES ON THE WEB.  THEY ARE SCAM!!!
