Woven Shirt Fabric Consumption Formula

Woven Shirt
For fabric consumption of woven shirt we need MEASUREMENT sheet. We have to
consider the measurement of middle size arment or the arment containin ma!imum
"uantit#. Suppose measurement sheet is as follows$

Short cut formula for quick consumption
At first pls note the below point:
Body length = Body length + Seam allowance !"n case of wash garments# washing allowance to be
added$
Body width = Chest width + Seam allowance !"n case of wash garments# washing allowance to be
added$
Sleeve %ength = Sleeve length + Seam allowance !"n case of wash garments# washing allowance to be
added$
Suppose&
Body length = '() + *) !Seam +llowance $ = '')
Sleeve length = (') + (,) !Cuff width$
+ *,) !Seam +llowance$ = (-)
*.( Chest Width = (/) + *) !S+$ + ') 0leat width

Mathematical formula to calculate the fabric consumption of Woven pant in #ard is as follows$
+ormula $ -.enth / Width0 1 -+ab width / &'0
Note$ We must add sewin allowance 23 and &4 wastae. Also We need to 5now the width of
the fabric roll.

Knit Garments Fabric Consumption Formula
Clear concept on correct fabric consumption and costing is a primary requisite for a
merchandiser as fabric cost bears the 40% to 45% of the total cost of any garments.
To calculate the fabric consumption of nit garments !e need follo!ing information"
a. #ody length of the garment in cm. $uppose it is % &0 cm'5cm ($e!ing allo!ance)*&5cm
b. +,- Chest !idth in cm. $uppose it is 4. cm'-cm ($e!ing allo!ance)*50cm
c. $lee/e length of the garment in cm. $uppose it is -0 cm'5cm ($e!ing allo!ance)*-5cm
d. 0rmhole circumference in cm. $uppose it is%40cm'-cm ($e!ing allo!ance)*4-cm
e. Fabric G$1. $uppose it is +.0 gsm
f. 2ercentage of fabric !astage. $uppose it is +0%
333For consumption !e ha/e to consider the measurement of middle si4e garment or the
garment containing ma5imum quantity.
