				<description>&#060;p&#062;Angie - Thank you for the info about Anthro not being high quality. I really have no idea as I've literally yet to buy an Anthro item ever.  So this would be my first one and with that price tag boy would it have to be a work horse (I'm thinking a 5 year work horse!!)&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Kellee - so sorry to hear about the cast.  Ouch!  I've still got the AP dress sitting here, Nordstroms said they would actually be willing to adjust the price for me down to the current price of $68 but as a MOTG I'm just not sure how much I would wear it.....&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Thank you all for your tips and advice!!
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I prefer the Anthro dress too. But Anthropologie does not generally have great quality. I wouldn’t pay $260 for Anthro quality.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Hi agrace,&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;With a little black dress I think the $$ (investment) is the best way to go.&#060;br /&#062;
It is a great dress.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I often buy dresses at Target, but they are good for only a few seasons&#060;br /&#062;
and the price suits the purchase. No pun intended!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;P.S. I am sorry I was not able to get back to you about the AP dress.&#060;br /&#062;
I did end up returning it. I know someone else who kept the dress they bought.&#060;br /&#062;
But I have a much larger neck(diameter).&#060;br /&#062;
I have a cast on my left hand and it has hindered my desire to post/take pictures.&#060;br /&#062;
Dressing is still an adventure. It comes off on the 23rd ,yeah!
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Can't see the Anthro link, :(&#060;br /&#062;
 But judging by the price difference, you would have to try both on to get a feel for the fabric difference ... I m sure  that is the tie breaker...and what your budget allows:) &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;The target dress is cute though:)

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I love the detailing on the Anthropoligie dress. Plus it is cotton and the other is polyester.  That would seal the deal for me!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Love the anthropologie dress!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I'm not much help on these battle of the dresses threads ... I keep busting the budget. Its easy to spend other people's money.   <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-smile icon-emoticon-smile "></span>

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Okay, it is another battle of the dresses!&#060;br /&#062;
I'm not saying I will get either one of these but I have got my eye on both of these for a little black dress to reach for when going out, upcoming parties, etc.  Obviously there is a very substantial price difference ($40 for Merona vs. $260 for Anthropologie) and I am sure a large quality difference.  I think the cost-per-wear of the Anthropologie dress would be pretty good b/c I feel I will wear it for at least 4 - 5 years. I don't think either dress is that versatile for daytime though...which isn't necessarily a problem. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Okay...which dress? Invest in the Anthropology and wear it to death or stay in budget with the Merona?&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Thanks! &#060;/p&#062;
