Knowing how many meters of fabric to make a dress  IS IMPORTANT, BUT HOW TO KNOW!

This fabric requirement question seemed tough, and I wasted a lot of expensive fabric material when I was learning sewing.

And there were times, when I was stuck because fabric length was short! After a few times of sewing a particular type of dress, you get to know exactly how much fabric would go into that.

3 Things Decide Fabric Requirement For Any Type Of Dress

1. Your Height And Weight

2. Tailor Who Is Stitching Your Dress

If you are a beginner sewist, then you must keep at least half meter to one meter fabric extra.

3. Your Design Requirements – It is always good to have a bit extra fabric, just in case you make some changes in design, you'll need that.
