Ball Gown or Sheath?

Ok, so back in Oct I tried on dresses with the family. The lady at the store was pulling a lot of dresses that I didn't find flattering on my shape at all. I wasn't sure if I wanted ball gown or something tighter, but all the ball gowns she had flared out right at the waist instead of coming in...

Ok, so back in Oct I tried on dresses with the family. The lady at the store was pulling a lot of dresses that I didn't find flattering on my shape at all. I wasn't sure if I wanted ball gown or something tighter, but all the ball gowns she had flared out right at the waist instead of coming in again first. My sister pulled this sheath and her and my mom loved it, it was half off, and last one at the store (discontinued) so...I bought it but have never been 100%. Fast forward...lost a bunch of weight and needed it taken in...seamstress messed up the lines a bit (says it will be fixed by sat). So this comparison pic is me "pulling it in" to fit better. So...I also bought this ball gown as a back up but might like it better. Any thoughts on which dress??

    The sheath is my preference - the other one looks beautiful on you too, but the sheath is a knockout!

    Dress on the left. The one on the right looks odd with that neckline.

    If you can rock a sheath--which you can--then do it!

    Both look great. If you have both, maybe wear both?

    The V-neck is much more flattering on you than the halter.

    I like the first dress, the ball gown looks too prom-ish too me.
