Made dress in view A using a paisley print and its one of my favourite dresses. It was the first time i used boning, found the instructions on creating a the boning casing a bit confusing. Also encountered some difficulty joining front bodice pieces ( to create the perfect v neck halter). Other than that the pattern was OK, i would recommend it; i've used the skirt pattern quite a lot (because of the pleat allowance). The main alteration i made was to the bodice. Made a size 12 (which is generally my size), but it was a bit too big so had to take an inch/two to get it to lie flat on my back. Aside from the boning, it shouldn't be too had for a beginner...
