Well...these don't look like competition dresses that I would wear to a comp like Nationals, Emerald or Ohio Star, etc.. If it's Fred Astaire or AM in-house sure you'll be fine. If money is tight rent a dress and seriously try something on...at least a sample before you actually buy something. Wait until a major comp is in your town or close by and go try some dresses on.

You also don't want something that is no longer in style because it makes you stand out and not in a good way. This is again not an issue if this is an AM or FADS event.

I agree with Belleofyourball, that these dresses dont look up to date or have much quality to them. You get what you pay for when ordering China made clothing. AND even though you provide measurements it still might not fit. Been there, done that.

What about the dresses listed for sale on this site?

Have you checked out LeNique Dancewear? They are in Los Angles, CA but do travel to different competitions.
Heres their FB page to look at some of dresses they have for sale.

Have you checked out Encore Ballroom Couture? They do rent some of these dresses. You can pay a fee and have them shipped to you for try on.

Check with your local studio as well as your dance instructor for help. Many girls have dresses they no longer wear and would be happy to sell.

I set up a Dancers Trade day at my local studio. I was so impressed with how many girls set up tables to sell their gown and Latin dresses. Such choices in sizes, styles and prices!

It looks like these people are resellers (prices seem high) so I would check out Latino Dancewear on ebay and see what the shop charges directly. I know one person who ordered from them through ebay. The dress was as pictured, OK quality, she was pleased with it. That was at least five years ago so things might have changed since then.

There is a website called discountdancesupplie.com and I really like it there are some awesome costumes, also aliexpress.com is a great website. I have found some awesome deals, it is a chinise one, and your items come in a few weeks but I love it!

I've purchased many shoes from appledanceshoes.com. That is a trusted website! Shoes are really good quality and they have a wide variety of shoes to choose from!
