How much fabric do you need for your diy dress?
Please note that fabric requirements depend on the width of your chosen material. Our sizing relies on a usable fabric width of 140-160cm, so be sure to consult the table below for both size and required fabric quantity. If your fabric features a different width or pattern (vertical or horizontal stripes, plaids, etc.), adjust the positioning of individual pieces to accommodate your available space.
Check your contraction!
