Woven Shirt Fabric Consumption Calculation

The document discusses the process of calculating fabric consumption for a woven shirt. It provides the formulas and measurements needed to calculate the amount of fabric required for each part of the shirt, including the back, yoke, front, sleeves, cuff, pocket, and collar. It then sums the totals for each part to obtain the total fabric consumption for one shirt, which is 2.1268 yards. To find the fabric needed for a dozen shirts, this total is multiplied by 12 and 5% is added to account for wastage, resulting in a total of 26.8 yards of fabric needed per dozen shirts.

  • Fabric Consumption Calculation: Introduces the importance of fabric consumption determination in garment manufacturing and previews the layout of a long sleeve woven shirt.
  • Garment Parts Analysis: Provides detailed descriptions and fabric consumption formulas for each part of a woven shirt, such as back, yoke, front, sleeve, cuff, pocket, and collar.
  • Total Fabric Calculation: Summarizes the total fabric needs to make a woven shirt, including wastage considerations and fabric calculation per dozen.

Fabric consumption calculation:

Fabric consumption determination is a very important term in garments section. Because fabric
covers the greatest part of garments costing, so we should have better knowledge about fabric
consumption determination.

For determination of fabric consumption of any parts of a woven shirt, we have to take reading
length and maximum width of this part of shirt. 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. It is
a very important task for apparel merchandiser.

For better understanding, anatomy of woven shirt is given below.

Anatomy of Long Sleeve Woven Shirt


Back part:
The part of a garment, which covers the back part of human body.

Back part of Long Sleeve Woven Shirt


Formula:

{(Center back length + Allowance) X (1/2 Chest + Allowance)}


Required fabric = ………………………………………………...…………………
44 X 36

(31" + 2") × (24" + 2")


= ……………………..…
44 X 36

= 0.541yds
Yoke:
A shaped piece fabric in a garment, fitted about or below the neck and shoulders, from which the
rest of the garment hangs. It can be split in two, called the ―split yoke.

Yoke of Long Sleeve Woven Shirt


Formula:

{(Yoke length + Allowance) X (Yoke width + Allowance)}


Required fabric = ………………………………………………...…….……
44 X 36

(21" + 4") × (4"+ 1")


= ………………………..
44 X 36

= 0.079yds
Front part:
Front part of shirt is given below.

Front part of Long Sleeve Woven Shirt


Formula:

{(Body length + Allowance) X (1/2 Chest + Allowance) X 2}


Required fabric = ……………………………………………………...…………
44 X 36

(31" + 1") × (12" + 2 ½" ) X 2"


= ……………………..…………
36 X 44

= 0.5858 yds
Sleeve:
The part of a garment that covers the arm and is usually cut wider than the cuffs. Most sleeve
lengths fall between 32 and 36 inches.

Sleeve of Long Sleeve Woven Shirt


Formula:

(Sleeve length + Allowance) X (Arm hole depth full + Allowance) X 2


Required fabric = …………………………………………………………………....……
44 X 36

Or,

[{Sleeve length – (1/2 Drop shoulder + ½”)} + Allowance] X (Arm hole depth + Allowance) X 2
Required fabric =
…………………………………………………………………………………..................................…..
44 X 36
[{34 ½" -11"} +1"] × {21" +1"} × 2
= …………………………………………
44 X 36

= 0.68yds
Cuff:
A fold or band serving as a trimming or finish for the bottom of a sleeve. Some cuff styles
include: French Cuffs and Barrel Cuffs.

Cuff of Long Sleeve Woven Shirt


Formula:

(Cuff length + Allowance) X (Cuff width + Allowance) X 2


Required fabric = ……………………………………………....………...…..
44 X 36

(9" + 3") × (2 ½" + ½" ) ×2


= ……………………………
44 X 36

= 0.05yds
Pocket:
A small bag like attachment forming part of a garment and used to carry small articles, as a flat
pouch sewn inside a pair of pants or a piece of material sewn on its sides and bottom to the
outside of a shirt.

Pocket of Long Sleeve Woven Shirt


Formula:

(Pocket length + Allowance) + (Pocket width + Allowance)


Required fabric = ………………………………………………........………….
44 X 36

(6" +2") X (5½" +1")


= ………………………
44 X 36

= 0.032 yds
Collar:
The part of a shirt that encompasses the neckline of the garment, often so as to fold or roll over.
Comes in various shapes, depending on the face shape and occasion.

Collar of Long Sleeve Woven Shirt


Formula:

(Collar length + Allowance) X (Xollar width + Allowance) X 4


Required fabric = ………………………………………………......…………….
44 X 36

(16" + 5") × (2" +1") × 4


= ………………………..…
44 X 36

= 0.159 yds
Total Fabric Consumption for one Woven Shirt:
= Back part + Yoke + Front part + Sleeve + Cuff + Pocket + Collar
= 0.541 yds + 0.079 yds + 0.5858 yds + 0.68 yds + 0.05 yds + 0.032 yds + 0.159 yds
= 2.1268 yds per woven shirt

Per Dozen = 2.1268 X 12 ...............................[1 Dozen = 12]

= 25.5216/dz (ypd) + 5% (Wastages)


= 25.5216 + (25.5216 X 5/100)
= 25.5216 + 1.276
= 26.7976 yds per dozen
= 26.8 yds per dozen

Ans: 26.8 yds fabric need to make 1 dz (12 piece) woven shirt. I think this fabric consumption
calculation will be helpful for your student or professional life. If you like it then please share or
