B = Waist Band Height = 2 inch
C = Out seam = 42 inch
Fabric cut able width – 59″
Fabric Consumption Formula :
Fabric consumption formula of fabric for marketing is given here-
=1.24+5% wastage [considering 5% wastage]
=1.24+ yds.
=1.3 yds.
=1.3X0.91 meter
=1.18 m.
Fabric Consumption Formula for Shirt :
International Size Grading :
Infant baby = 1-2-3 years, Size : 1-2-3
Toddlers = 4-5-6 years, Size : 4-5-6
Boys & girls = 6-16 years, Size :
Fabric consumption per dozen of a full shirt:
Considering medium size (M) for calculation-
Body Section: (body length+allowance) × (1/2 chest+allowance) × 2
= ( 74cm+5cm) × (55cm+5cm) × 2 = 79cm × 60cm × 2 = 9480 sq. cm.
Sleeve Section:(sleeve length+allowance) × (arm hole straight+allowance) × 2 × 2
=(65cm+4cm) × (23cm+3cm) × 4 = 69 cm × 26cm × 4 = 7176 sq. cm.
Collar & Collar Band: (collar band length+allowance) × (collar band+collar point+allowance) × 2
=(41cm+3cm) × (3cm+7cm+4cm) × 2 = 44cm × 14cm × 2 = 1232 sq. cm.
Pocket:(pocket length+allowance) × (pocket width+allowance)
=(14cm+3cm) × (12cm+2cm) = 17cm × 14cm = 238 sq. cm.
Extra Yoke:(shoulder across+allowance) × (yoke height+allowance)
= (48cm+4cm) × (11.5cm+4cm) = 52cm × 15.5cm = 806 sq.com.
Now fabric consumption per shirt will be,
A+B+C+D+E = (9480 + 7176 + 1232 + 238 + 806) sq.cm = 18932sq.cm = 18932÷127
= 149.07cm = 1.49m = 1.5m/Pc.
Size Ratio:
S = 2×1.48 m = 2.96 m
M = 3×1.50 m = 4.50 m
L = 3×1.52 m = 4.56 m
XL = 2×1.54 m = 3.08 m
XXL =2×1.56 m = 3.12 m
Total = 18.22 m/dozen.
Costing per dozen of shirt:
- Fabric cost = 18.22m × $ 1.64 = $ 29.88
- Accessories cost = $ 5.50
- Washing cost = $ 1.50
- Dyeing cost = $ 50.00
- Cutting & Making charge = $15.00
Total manufacturing cost = $ 101.88
