-> how much fabric do you need?

Depending on the size and style that you chose, the fabric consumption varies quite a lot! for a simple crop top you need as little as 1yd at 48″ (120 cm) width, where as a long version with sleeve will take 2,5-3 m of fabric at 60″ or 48″ ( 160 or 120 cm) width. Have a look at the different cutting layout to find out how much fabric your beach dress will need!
