Solution

The correct option is A The designer asked her if she would have the dress ready by next evening.
If reporting verb is in past, then while converting from direct speech to indirect speech, "tomorrow evening" becomes "next evening" and "will" becomes "would".

Hence, the indirect speech is :
The designer asked her if she would have the dress ready by next evening.
