Dress Shirt
For evaluating Fabric consumption of
a dress shirt at first we have to know about the basic parts of a dress shirt.
Basic
parts of dress shirt:
- Main body
- Yoke
- Sleeve
- Collar
- Cuff
- Placket Box
- Top center

Formula:
For
evaluating fabric consumption nothing about formula .It’s all about calculation
sense. If you know about the area calculation of a rectangle than I want to say
that we also know about the calculation of fabric consumption.
To
determine fabric consumption of any parts of a woven shirt, we have to take
reading length and maximum width of this part . And then we have to multiply
length with width to find out the area of fabric required of this part and
other should be followed as unit terms.
Measurement of a basic shirt
Let,
fabric width : 56”
Marker Width : 55”
So, Fabric required = 37614/55 inch
= 684 inch
= 684/36 yds/dz
= 19 yds/dz
So, Fabric consumption,
= 19 yds/dz+7%(wastage %)
= 19+7% of 19 yds/dz
= 19 + 1.33 yds/dz
= 19/12 yds/piece
= 1.58 yds/piece
In short cut way we can find out
fabric consumption of a Dress shirt in following way:-
Calculation of fabric consumption of
a Dress shirt
Note
: Short cut way of fabric consumption determination is not so accurate as
elaborate way determination system.But it is easy and time saved way.
Conclusion:
Consumption determination is a very
important term in garments section. Thought fabric covers the greatest part of
garments costing, so we should have better knowledge about fabric consumption
determination.
