Woven Fabric Consumption Formula
The quantity of fabric which is required to produce a garment is called consumption. How much fabric is required to produce a garment, we can determine it through marker planning and mathematical system. We can calculate and determine the consumption of fabric by the following two systems: 1. Marker planning system 2. Mathematical system . There are also two formula for fabric consumption. One is woven fabric consumption formula and another is knit fabric consumption formula. Now I only discuss on Consumption of woven fabric. Which is done in mathematical system.

| Consumption of woven fabric |
- Fabric Description.
- Fabrics width/weight.
- Measurement chart with technical spec.
- Washing shrinkage if any.
- Style Description.
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.
For example, 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 (1.5*2) = 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)
= 33″ X 28″ / 44″ X 36″
= 924″ / 1584″
= 0.5833333
= 0.59 Yards. (for front part)
