Like with a lot of Big 4 patterns, there is a bit of extra ease in this.  My toile was pretty blousy so I ended up cutting a size smaller than suggested for my measurements and the fit was much better.  I’ve made view A (but cut on the fold to omit the button placket) and view B.  Both worked out well, with the sleeves from view A being just a bit fiddley.

Next time I make this I will lengthen the bodice by a quarter of an inch or so.
