The top shown in Views A and C ends up covering very little to none of a person. I would say use it as a base but, if you don’t want to reveal yourself to the world, recut the neckline and bring the bottom down a little. I love the pants, they are wonderful and I have remade them several times but, as with most simplicity patterns, you have to look more at the diagrams than the pattern. We discovered that, as far as my friend and I could tell, you are never informed to sew up the crotch. The waist cincher was too big for my friend but, I ended up with one too small. Make sure that you measure well and make it for the measurement of your waist and hips not the rest of you; other than that it is a great pattern and I enjoy the cute result I got from using it.
