Woven Shirt Consumption formula

Woven Shirt Consumption formula

Learn Apparel Merchandising, 
Short cut formula for quick consumption


Pls note the below point:

Body length = Body length + Seam allowance (In case of wash garments, washing allowance to be added)

Body width = Chest width + Seam allowance. (In case of wash garments, washing allowance to be added)

Sleeve Length = Sleeve length + Seam allowance. (In case of wash garments, washing allowance to be added)


Suppose: 
Body length          = 32" + 1" (Seam Allowance ) = 33"

Sleeve length        = 23" + 2.5" (Cuff width)
                               + 1.5" (Seam Allowance) = 27"

1/2 Chest Width   = 24" + 1" (S.A) + 3" Pleat width
                            = 28"

Formula:               = {1/2 Chest X (CB length + Sleeve length)}
                                 X 2 / 36 / Fabric width + wastes %

                            = {28" X (33+27)} X 2 / 36 / 44 + 5%

                            = (28X60) X 2 / 36 / 44 + 5%

                            = 2.22 YDS / PC
