Cống women's costumes include shirts, skirts, bibs, and scarves all with colorful patterns, especially bibs, combs, brooches, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, etc. Cống women's shirts (ác kha) are sewn from cotton fabric and handwoven with small fabrics.
Cống women often wear traditional short shirts, similar to the Xửa Cóm short shirts worn by Thái women. The shirt has a wide hem and low collar, is buttoned to one side towards the right hip, and is tied with a strip or fastened with white silver buttons at the end of the hem. The skirt (thằng nga) is a tube-shaped dress, often made of purple indigo fabric. The body of the skirt is decorated with patterns running from the waist down to the hem. They wear skirts flexibly, usually over the knee or higher depending on the practical situation: attending ceremonies, going to the market, going out, or working.
The most distinctive feature of Cống women's clothing is the “yếm” (a type of camisole), which has various colors and is worn over the shirt. The “yếm” has two straps around the neck: a long “yếm” that goes over the chest, and its tail reaches down to the waist. It has a trapezoidal shape, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. It is usually made from 6–7 pieces of contrasting floral fabric sewn together.
The belt is 2.5 times longer than the wearer's waist and about 20cm wide. It is made of two layers of fabric, one side in blue and the other in pink, or one side in blue and the other side in light blue. When used, it's like tying a rope of one color twisted into another.
The Cống people refer to the headscarf as "tăng nga," similar to the “piêu” scarf of Thái women but simpler. The scarf is handwoven over 2 meters long, with a width ranging from 25 to 30 cm. They wrap the scarf tightly, covering hair completely, and then twist the two ends to the back, covering the nape of the neck.
Cống women often carry a pouch (vi xì cù), embroidered and meticulously sewn with vibrant colors. Additionally, they wear bracelets, necklaces, earrings, brooches, and combs. There are 3–4 types of broochs that are used to keep their hair bun. It is made from animal bones, crafted to be smooth and shiny. The sharp end of the brooch is used to stick into the hair, and the other end is attached to a white silver piece to hold the bun.
