12CM FROM TOP

For front and back, you need two pieces, one wider for the
gathered front. Use your hip or bust measurement (whichever
is biggest). Add 20cm for ease and seam allowance. Divide by
two to give width measurement for top back piece (a). Add
8cm to get width measurement for front piece (b).
