For versions E, F & G, we have broken down the yardages for the bodice and for the bottom of the garment. Calculate the total yardage for versions E, F & G by adding the fabric required for the bodice and the bottom of the garment in your size.
It isn’t possible to use a 55″ (140cm) wide fabric for a full circle skirt in sizes 46 to 52. Therefore, the skirt for those sizes features a lovely volume but isn’t a full circle skirt.

* From the neckline to the bottom of the garment on the center front.
**The garment’s length includes the waistband. To know the length for versions E, F and G add the length of the bodice and the length of the chosen bottom of the garment.
For versions F & G, to be able to slip into the garment, the garment’s bust measurement needs to be at least as large as your hips measurement.
