The Jovani definitly has more flare at first glance, but I looked at it again & I don't like how there are two bows, I think it should have been left either in the front OR back..but on both sides, its a bit overkill. The tooling in the straps look a little rinky dinky. Also, it is white! I'm not one to make decisions on clothes based on practicality..If I like the way it looks I'm gonna rock it
BUT prom night is an inevitable messy blur..or at least a good one is ..
So, IMO I think the Chloe dress would be a good choice, & with a more simple dress, you can take the pressure off of it & do a unique hairstyle & makeup, & thats all you!

Let me just say, when I went to my prom, which I totally didn't even want to go to, but still was keen about my dress..I went to a hundred different stores and they all even had those books where you sign with your dress style to "assure" no one else from the same school buys it. It was a wild dress too..I thought, only I would wear something like this.. well wouldn't you know that not one, but 2 other girls (one who didnt even go to my school
) were wearing the same dress. If it wasn't for the fact that mine almost looked completely different because I had it altered perfectly to my body, I would have been real pist off...but its just inevitable unless you fly overseas, tomake sure no one will have the same one..alot of pressure is placed on the dress, so I say its not the dress its HOW you rock it.

i like the first one, i agree that the second one is a very popular cut and you'll probably see a crapload of girls in something just like it. my prom dress was pretty expensive also, but nobody else had anything like it. i swear, all my friends looked the same: tube tops/halter tops and big poofy cupcake bottoms or slutty nightgownish things.

when i went to prom two of my friends wore almost the same dress, the only difference was one had a slit in the front and one wrapped on the side. same fabric, same colour it was halarious.

It really wasn't that bad. They did they're hair really different and they're diferent build and hair colour skintone.
That's a picture of my core group of friends; the girl in the middle and the girl on the right have basicly then same dress. They didn't care so we didn't care. I look super bad in that picture but whatever I was just getting over being sick for 4 months (I'm in th red btw).
And to astronaut prom really isn't that important, or at least to me and my friends it wasn't. It's just a night where you have fun and celebrate that you're done. You'll realize afterwards that high school isn't life and what happened there really isn't as important to you as what happens afterwards. Just have fun, wear the dress that makes you feel fierce and amazing.

I MUCH prefer the Jovani, but it depends on your personal style, colouring, and your shape. The second one is more classic and may get more repeat wear, and also may be more appropriate for your age and shape as the Jovani is quite "va va voom" vampy - I'm presuming you're young and skinny 
and often the best thing if you're young and cute is to keep things simple and let your youth and fresh "glow" make the biggest statement of the outfit.
If you have large boobs for your size, I wouldn't recommend the second one so much, that kind of halterneck is not particularly flattering to the generously busty.
If you're less "endowed", that second one's a winner. Particularly if you have slender shoulders.
As others have suggested, the ideal thing would be to try it on.
If you do get the second one, team it with hair up and classic red lips and black "winged" eyeliner. Pick some really nice sparkly earrings and a glam sequinned clutch. If you really dress it up like this it will be very classic starlet and sophisticated.
If you get the beautiful, beautiful Jovani frock instead, do a subtley smoky eye and an ultraglossy lip, and have your hair loose and tousled or curled - you want body, but not too "done". Keep your accessories ultra-simple as the dress is already very fancy.
