Could 1 work as an alternative to 2?

I have bought no 2 but am not sure if I can get it altered to take in at the bust. Mum reckons it was too hard. I am going to ask a dressmaker (and also go back to the shop and see if I have magically gone down a size on the bottom!)

If those don't work, how does 1 stand up as an alternative? The quality isn't quite as good, but is acceptable.
