In this thread we will discuss

  • How much fabric has been used for a dress
  • Which fabric is suitable to create a dress
  • What is the fabric called etc

I will start with a few dresses.

Which fabric is needed for this dress? How much of it?

How much fabric for the part below the body cut?

How much fabric for the Body cut & the part below the body cut separately?

The first one uses chiffon at the front and velvet for the sleeves maybe ...and the trousers are of jamawar ..there's velvet and banarsi pati on the border of frock ... not sure how much of fabric is needed for it though :D

Re: * Fabric Thread *

I think you need 5mtr for the dress alone and 2.5mtr to 3mtr for trousers.

Re: * Fabric Thread *

Any idea about how much of the fabric is needed for the 3rd picture i.e. Katrina's black dress H&NK,The first one worn by Lara appears to be Malai jorjet shirt, chiffon sleeves & duppata. The total fabric for shirt would be around 4.5 yards.The 2nd picture probably has kataan silk shirt. For this one, even 4 yards would be enough.

Lara's dress: Korean chiffon (with lining) not sure though
Material need for this type of style , 6 mitres, for all above dresses
for a good ghair,6 mtr is enough and
for normal ghair 3.5 mtrs
trousers : 2.5 mitres
