I stuck with one GMAT questions from OG10. If someone can verify the grammar rule below for me, I will understand that GMAT question clearly.
Sentence #1: The blue dress looks more flattering on you than the red one does. Sentence #1 is clearly correct. However, what if I change the position of the verb "does" at the end?
Sentence #2: The blue dress looks more flattering on you than does the red one. Can I switch the helping verb to the front of the subject?
Either answer is yes or no, could you explain the structure rule for me? I tried to find the rule on Google but had no luck.

The first choice looks better due to parallelism; however I don't find either choice grammatically erroneous.

On second thought...both seem to be correct in this sentence as there is only one verb to parallel with.
