Fallen in love with two dresses

So I have just started dress shopping and have already fallen in love with two very similar dresses. The first dress I fell in love with was the Maggie Sottero Jalissa dress, unfortunately no one within 25-50 miles of where I live has this dress so I can try it on. I went to another bridal shop that carries Maggie and they had the Allure 8950 which is very simialr. Here is my dilemia between the two, I love the corest back which the Allure doesnt have, if I go with the Allure dress I will need a substantial amount of alterations done. 

Here are both dresses, which dress do you like more?

    I prefer the Allure dress to the Maggie dress. The Allure is a bit more streamlined (the pleats on the front of the Maggie aren't as flat, and that bugs me) and I lovelovelove the buttons down the back. Also, I like the line of the sweetheart on the Allure dress better, the Maggie dress is pointy.

    ETA: What Lia said, too. Try them on to get a better idea of what you like. The dress I fell in love with online did not flatter me at all when I tried it on.

  • both gorgeous dresses. but personally i like the first one a bit better.

    but i do agree with PP in saying try the dress on first! i was set on a very similiar dress but somehow ended up with something totally different.
  • I love corsets normally but that off set corset looks weird to me...#2!
  • i love allure dresses, one of my favs! (wish I had tried a few on lol)

    that being said, I like #1 :) but both are gorgeous. Def agree try them on...i was set on lace, and I bought a chiffon ruffled gown ;)

  • I prefer the Allue because the top is a classic sweetheart (instead of the weird, lotus flower type look thats going on with one side of the Maggie dress). Also, I like the side embellishment on the Allure as opposed to the sash on the Maggie.

    Those dresses look very similar, either one you chose will look fantastic

    That being said I love the corset back of the first one.
  • Love the Allure dress. Personally, I love the back and feel like the bottom looks much softer than the top which I like. Love the beading on the Allure as well
