Womenswear Fabric Consumption & 150–200 MOQ Cost Estimator

Plan your fabric order before you develop your collection. Estimate metres, yards or yarn weight, check your colour MOQ and explore material cost. Free to use. No signup.

01 / Build your order

Range labels describe planning scenarios; choose up to four actual sizes. +11% is an illustrative grading allowance, not a measured marker ratio.

Enter an approved pattern estimate including its own loss allowance; confirm interfacing width and specification separately. No automatic interfacing assumption.

Single colour: 200 pcs/style. Two or more colours: 150 pcs/colour/style. Mix up to four sizes. Quantities are checked per colour, not just by total.

How this estimate works

Size M woven baselines use 142 cm of effective marker width on a nominal 145 cm roll after selvedge exclusion. Gross metres per piece = base × silhouette × width-band factor × (1 + pattern matching allowance + shrinkage/cutting allowance) × grading. The width bands already account for usable width and the narrow-width layout penalty. One yard is 0.9144 metres. Bulk totals use unrounded values.

Knitwear uses a Size M style baseline at 7GG/9GG. Gross yarn grams per piece = style baseline × gauge × stitch structure × grading × 1.07. The 7% yarn allowance covers winding and knitting losses. Divide total grams by 1,000 for procurement kilograms.

Confirm consumption with the approved pattern, marker and sample. Material cost covers shell fabric or yarn. Lining, interfacing, labour, trims, testing, packing, freight and taxes are priced separately. Production timing starts after relevant approvals and material readiness.

Lining and grading methodology

The extended-range scenario multiplies woven and knit consumption by 1.11. Full and half lining retain the separate coverage estimate of 100% or 50% of the shell baseline × 145 ÷ lining width × grading × 1.04. Shell silhouette, width-band, pattern and shrinkage factors apply to shell only. Cotton voile is the default for lightweight fabrics and poly/viscose twill for blazers. Confirm lining panels with your sample. Skirt and blazer shell baselines can be overridden with a marker estimate.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum order quantity?

One colour requires 200 pieces per style. Two or more colours require at least 150 pieces per colour per style. Up to four sizes can be mixed.

Does this calculate a finished garment price?

No. Enter a fabric price per metre or yarn price per kilogram to estimate material cost only. Labour, trims, lining, testing, packing, freight and taxes are excluded. Request a factory quote for the finished garment.

Are shrinkage and yarn weight guaranteed?

No. The buffers and gauge-based weights are illustrative planning assumptions. Confirm actual consumption, shrinkage and yarn weight with the approved pattern, material tests and sample.

What are the production lead times?

Sampling takes 5–10 working days. First bulk orders take 30–45 working days; repeat orders take 15–30 working days, after relevant approvals and material readiness.

What is the sample fee policy?

Sample fee is 3x estimated unit price for new clients, 100% refunded once your bulk order is placed.
