37. ConsumptionCalculationFormulaForWovenBottom
BasicConsumptionFormulaForWovenBottom:
Length x Width x 12
(Fabric Width x Unit)

38. ConsumptionCalculationFormulaForWovenBottom
ATypical Example:
SomeMeasurements
Waist-35"
Outseam-42"
Inseam-3o"
Thigh-26"
Hip-44"
BottomOpening-18"
Fabriccutablewidth-56"

39. ConsumptionCalculationFormulaForWovenBottom
ATypical Example:
TotalLengandWidthValues:
Length=42"+2"(WaistBandHeight)+3"(Al)=45"
(Ihave considered out seam for length but you canconsiderinseamalong withback riselength
and waistband lengthfor total length)
Width=26"+3"(Al)=29"(In case of1/2thighcircular the formula will be multiplied by 4)

40. ConsumptionCalculationFormulaForWovenBottom
ATypical Example:
Fabricrequiredformakingonedzpant:
(LengthxWidthx12)/(FabricWidthxUnit)
=(45"x29"x12)/(56"x36")
=15.88yards/dz
=consideras16yards/dz
