    Ok, so it is between the David's V9458 (first pic) and the DB v9665 (similar to the second pic)  I am trying to decide which style looks better.  I like the first one because its very similar to the Maggie Coco, which I love but is out of my price range, and the second is similar to the Maggie Michelle/adelaide, also a bit expensive!  Let me know what you think?

    Ooh, that's tough. They are pretty similar, so at least it looks like you know what style you are going for. :) I think the ruching on the second one might be slightly more flattering than the draping on the first, so my vote is for #2 (you might want to make this a poll!).

    They look very similar to me but I think I like the second one slightly better.

    I think the a line works better on you, but both are beautiful.

    They honestly look the same on you in the pics.  Do you feel the same in both?  Personally, I'd go with the one that makes me feel more beautiful.

    I'd vote for the 2nd one - only because I like the draping more (vs. the harsh line on the 1st one) - but silhouette wise - I think they are dead even.

    I too think they look very similar but I picked the 2nd one. I don't like the cut off between the top and bottom of the first one like oracle said. The 2nd one has a much softer line.

    Wow looks like I am in the minority, but I definitely like the first one better. They are both great looking though, so I think either way you go is gonna be great!

    They're both really pretty  - and quite similar in some ways - so go for whichever one you prefer!

    Yes, they are very similar!!  I like the side draping and beading of the bust area, which is my selling point for both of them.  I think the softer look of the a-line may be more flattering but what I like about the first is that its not as conventional....arghhh this is going to be hard I really like them both!

    I think they look extra similikiar....i'd get #2, and make it a sweetheart neckline

    #1 makes your boobs look kinda squished and small...it's the illusionl of the V I think! Not sure i'm feeling it...hmm.

    What about a used maggie dress? You might be surprised...i got mine (new) for $400, so you CAN get a good deal on them. You just gotta dig =]

    I like a-line better... but they are both really beautiful. Hard choice.

    I really can't tell the difference-- maybe it's the angle of the photos?  They're so similar!  But they both look really nice, so you can't really go wrong.  :)

    They are both very pretty on you!

    I would say the 2nd one though, I like how the material is draping more at the bottom, although, that could just be the picture?  Either way, it's a win :)

    They look pretty similar, but I'm drawn to the first one a bit more -- it looks great on you!

    i personally don't like either that much.... but if i were you i'd go for the top one, or a completely different dress that is even more form fitted.  the top one still looks like A line to me.
