I made View B, and was very pleased with the clear instructions and creative use of trims. While it may not be historically accurate, it gave a nice finished garment with an enclosed lining. To be more correct to the period, I moved the dart from under the arm to two darts on either side of the center front. The jacket only closes at the neckline, so you may wish to add more closures. I didn’t use the rosettes as photographed on the pattern envelope.
