Buy the Hallon Dress sewing pattern from Paradise Patterns. Hallon is a swingy dress perfect for summer! View A has a very relaxed fit and a lovely ruffled hem. The back sits low and loose, so the shape of your gorgeous back can be seen. View B has a straighter fit, with no back gathers so it sits closer to your back. It also has side seam slits.
You can of course also mix it up and put the hem ruffle on View B, or not use the hem ruffle on View A and add side seam slits instead.
