Either one will work, but view A will be more comfortable. If she
isn't curvy, she doesn't need all the boning around the back on view
B. And the boned tabs aren't so important for spreading the stress
out over the upper hip if she doesn't really have hips.
I would encourage you to talk to her about tying her farthingale to
her corset if she's wearing a farthingale. You'll need to put in
eyelet holes if she agrees (and the drawing from the pattern cover
seems to show them--they were there in the original). This is
especially important for figures with no hips to speak of, as the
farthingale will just slide down if it's not tied to the corset. You
can see how mine works here:
