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!

It's important to wash your fabric prior to cutting it, as this guarantees accurate sizing and prevents shrinkage after the first wash. Additionally, this step helps remove any excess dyes for a flawless final garment.
