Woven fabric consumption formula

1) Measurement chart with technical spec.
2) Style Description.
3) Fabric Description.
4) Fabrics width/weight.
5) Washing shrinkage if any.


This formula is as under :
Formula = Length  X Width  / Fab width X Fab Unit

Here, 
Length = length of the specific parts + allowance
Width  = width  of the specific parts + allowance
Fab width = Fabric width ( after considering the shrinkage 
                    allowance).
                   Say, fabric width is 45" & the shrinkage 
                   allowance is 1", Then the Fabric width will 
                   be (45"-1") = 44" in the formula.
Fab unit = Fabric calculation unit, here it will be 36 because 
                we are going to calculate the consumption in 
                Yards.

Now we will calculate the consumption of a Shirt (front part)
Center front length  = 32"+1" (Sewing allowance) = 33"
Width (Chest)        = 24" + 1" (Sewing allowance) + 3" 
                                 Pleat.W (1.5X2)  = 28"


= Length  X Width  / Fab width X Fab Unit
= 33" X 28" /  44" X 36"
= 924" 1584"
= 0.5833333

= 0.59 Yards. (for front part)
