Ao Dai: Modern vs Traditonal?

Left: Modern style Below: Traditional style Today, I received an email back from my friend who is vacationing with her family in Vietnam. They left Calgary 12 days ago and will be back in early September. So far, she seems to be having a great time there. Pretty soon, she and her family are heading to Bangok. Sounds like fun. The first day she got there, she and her family went for the authentic sate beef pho..hmm, noodle..I wonder how it taste, better or not than Calgary? Eh, I told her to take a picture of it for me. Before she left, she make her mom took her female friends' measurement for the Ao dai. Her aunt who own a clothing store there is going to make us the Ao dai. I told her I don't need one, much less wear one. Eh, I'm not even Vietnamese, but she insisted. So, I guess I just go along with it. Will I eventually wear it, whose know? She's even going to make a guy style's Ao dai for her boyfriend even though he's white. Lol, it was so funny when she made her mom took the measurement for him with all the girls watching, and listening. He's a tall, big guy. Apparently, he was embarrassed because he told her mom he wanted her to take his measurement upstairs so we couldn't hear. His girlfriend like, "no, don't wasting time." Her mom would take the measurement and make him read the number out loud and pretend she couldn't see the number. Hehe, we all have good laughed at his expense..I think he was more embarassed than mad. In today's email, my friend wanted me to pick a style, and pattern for the Ao Dai from this website (http://aodaivinh.com) she send me. But I am stuck between this two Ao Dai that I like: the modern vs the traditional version? I told her I want something simple, not too flowery or busy. The colors I like a pale color, not bright. Either light blue, light green or light pink. Which style of Ai Dai should I choose?
