Fabric Requirements Guide

Know exactly how much fabric you need for your next outfit. Our guide helps you order the right amount.

The amount of fabric you need depends on the garment type, your body size, and whether you want extra for alterations. Our standard recommendations are based on fabric width of 54-58 inches (most of our fabrics).

Fabric Width Matters

Our calculations assume 54-58" width. Narrower fabrics (44") require 15-20% more material.

Order Extra

We recommend ordering 0.5m extra for pattern matching, design elements, or future alterations.

Consult Your Tailor

Your tailor knows best! Share these guidelines but follow their specific requirements.
