How much fabric do you need for your diy dress?

The table below provides the fabric requirements for various sizes, but it is important to keep in mind that these calculations apply to fabrics with a width of 140-150 cm. Using fabrics with different widths and designs (striped, plaid, etc.) requires you to re-position the patterns so they fit your available width. By taking the time to plan ahead, you can be sure that you have enough fabric to complete your project, and avoid any last-minute trips to the store.

Check your contraction!

It is recommended that you wash your fabric before cutting it. This will preshrink the fabric, and remove any excess coloring. By doing so, you ensure your garment stays true to size after being sewn.
