craftgrrl | I can't even get past the first part!

In my new sewing machine enthusiasm, I went to Jo-Ann's as soon as they opened and grabbed some patterns to make my daughter some outfits. I was overly cocky and got some ball gown (she'll never ever ever have any place to wear them, but I just HAD to) and coat patterns, before making myself get some simple "easy to sew" stuff. It was a good thing that I did, because I am REALLY struggling with... laying the pieces out to cut.

All the pieces say "center here on fold" but there is just NOT enough fold for everything. I'm assuming here that the fold is... the actual fold, which makes sense as reading into the pattern, there's supposed to be ONE back bodice, ONE front bodice, etc. I laid it out just like the picture showed, but they're saying there's two folds? I cannot make any sense of this, and I know it's probably hard for you guys to see what I mean as I haven't got any sort of picture but is this making sense to anyone? Did I miss something? The only way I can see to have a fold on each side is to sort of fold each side to the meet in the middle, but that definitely would not work.

It's actually not that big of a deal as the pieces that do not fit on the fold are going to be gathered eventually, so I can easily sew them together and it won't be a big deal, but it is just driving me nuts. I really have no clue what I'm missing, but it has to be SOMETHING. The fact that I cannot even figure out how to properly cut this is making me nervous about the actual construction. :(

EDIT: I folded so that the the edges met in the middle. Everything fits perfectly! It seems kind of weird - I thought if the fabric wasn't folded in half, it would say so specifically, but it fits... it works... not going to question it. Thanks so much for your help!
