I like #1. The print creates shaping and drama, plus the colours make it more versatile: you could wear it day or evening, as well as into autumn. #2 looks more day/summer to me.

What a GREAT feeling to get 2 great fitting dresses! I know because shopping just seems to be getting tougher and tougher for me. Yep, I'd keep them both but it doesn't sound like you are choosing anyways. I like how you've styled them, and think you'll have lots of options for both. Lucky you to have DH fix dinner

Both dresses are pretty on you. I hope that you keep both. My favorite is #1, the darker one.
Could you wear a cropped pullover sweater over the top of the dress during colder weather, especially in the spring? The dress would look like a skirt.

I really like the darker one slightly more - looks great on you and seems flexible for various events.

I like the m both. #1 is more dramatic with the high contrast and #2 is very soft and pretty in a romantic way - perfect for summer.
If dresses are so hard for you to fit you should keep both (enabler here )
