Thanks so much. I'm going to order A now, and will see how it sits on the waist, with maybe a change of belt. A was sort of my 1st choice, (oh, and it's French!)
Not keen on any of them really, but on balance, both A and B would be too "busy" patterns for me, so I'd reluctantly opt for C. It all comes down to what suits you personally, and what you feel comfortable in.
