Costume Decoration Art is associated with Xá Phó women's costumes such as square head scarves, shirts, and skirts. According to traditional beliefs, Xá Phó women must know how to grow cotton, weave fabric, dye indigo, cut, piece, sew, and embroider costumes. The patterns shown on the costumes are mainly embroidered and beaded.
The main color of Xá Phó's clothes is black indigo. They use red, blue, yellow, and white colors to dye thread to embroider patterns on costumes and accessories. In the overall indigo color of the entire outfit, Xá Phó women have chosen and coordinated the following colors: white, red, green, and bright yellow are the main colors of the square head scarf; The upper part of the shirt is white, red and has vertical patterns; The middle shirt is mainly red, mixed with a little white with horizontal patterns; The hem of the shirt is darker red than the middle part of the shirt; The sleeves are indigo, indigo mixed with white, and light red; indigo skirt waistband; The skirt body is structured with red, white - indigo - red, white - indigo patterned strips and the skirt part is a brilliant red patterned strip. Thus, it can be seen that symmetry is an important and dominant principle in the art of color mixing of the Xá Phó people.
Creating patterns of the Xá Phó people includes realistic patterns (geometric-filled shapes, skewed U shapes, rectangles, triangles, etc) and stylized patterns (sun, pine trees, mountain fruits, flowers, leaves, birds, water flow).
A highlight in the decorative art of the Xá Phó people is beading. The front of the shirt has 5 vertical rows of beads attached and around it is a rosette pattern (four-petaled flower).
