Which dress? Help!

Help! Which dress? I have 2 dresses that I am trying to decide between. A lace fit-n-flare and a lace/organza a-line. I've had such a hard time finding the perfect dress.

DRESS #1: Lace fit-n-flare. My mom and family like this dress. I feel like it is not very flattering for my mid-section,  I love the key-hole of this dress.

DRESS #2: Lace and organza dress in an A-line. I feel this one is more flattering to my mid-section and the alterations folks at the Bridal Salon said they could match the lace and add the keyhole to this dress. This dress is sold off the rack (50% off the orginial price) and it about 2 sizes to big. They said they could alter it to fit perfectly.

What dress do you all like? Which dress is the most flattering?

They're both lovely, but I think #2 suits you better --  with the alterations that you mentioned.

Definitely the second! It flatters you better than the first and love the way the bottom falls.

I didn't had to look the dresses to choose the 2 one. Clearly you feel more comfortable with that one and that's what matters.

Thanks everyone! Appreciate your feedback. I really like the fit of #2 the most. Couple of questions about the alterations: 

1) So what are your thoughts on having the keyhole added? Has anyone done that before or has anyone seen that done? The Bridal Salon gave me a quote of $125 plus the cost of the lace. They said they do it all the time and you won't be able to tell. 

2) Also, the dress is about 3 inches too large in the waist, bust and hips. Again the salon said it would be easy to alter, but would like your thoughts on this. Does this gown look like it would be able to be brought in 3 inches everywhere?

First of all, I love the 2nd dress too! I say if you want the keyhole, go for it. They seamstresses in those shops SHOULD stand by their work, so if they tell you they can do it without a problem, chances are they can. To be honest, taking it in three inches is not as much as it may sound and there should be no issues with doing that.
Good luck to you - its a gorgeous dress!
