Fabric consumption of a Basic Shirt




Main features of a nice basic dress shirt
In other words dress shirt is known as formal shirt. Special features of dress shirt are as follows-

 

  • A dress shirt should have a formal collar
  • It will contain full sleeve with cuff
  • It will have full-length opening at the front from the collar to the hem
  • It will contain clean button and stiff collar and cuff
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
  • Pocket
  • 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.
