You can also get custom-made Vietnamese ao dai (pronounced sort of like "ow yai" in the Southern dialect, "ow zai" in the Northern) on Ebay. Some of the patterns are cheesy, but many are quite beautiful. I wore one in a friend's wedding and can vouch that they really do need to be made to measure, because the upper part of the dress (long tunic) is very close-fitting.

Is there any particular reason you didn't link to the Shakespeare one? Are all of these supposed to be authentic? I could've sworn I'd read that there was no likeness of Shakespeare known to have been made from life, and while I suppose a death mask technically isn't "from life," I'm still suspicious.

My roommate says "thingy-boppy" (definitely hyphenated). I've always wondered whether it was her own coinage.
