I cut out view C in a size 12, left off the front placket (just an oblong sewed on, not a true placket) and the side inserts. I didn't even need extra length! I checked Pattern Review and a few people mentioned that they sized down because the pattern runs big. I think that's true when you use the side inserts, they add extra room around your middle, but because I left them off I had to use quarter inch side seams so that it wouldn't be too tight. Lesson learned? Think, don't just assume!
I really like this top and will get so much wear out of it - I can see myself making this up a few different ways so you might be seeing it again soon. And Mum, if you're reading, that's your birthday present blooming behind me in the top photo.

Your top looks great, I really like the racer back. I am sure it would be a very handy addition to your wardrobe.
Cute top. I love the racer back and the stripes.
