Let,

fabric width: 56”

Marker Width: 55”

So, Fabric required = 37614/55 inch

= 684 inch

= 684/36 yds/DZ

= 19 yds/DZ

So, Fabric consumption,

= 19 yds/dz+7%(wastage %)

= 19+7% of 19 yds/DZ

= 19 + 1.33 yds/DZ

= 19/12 yds/piece

= 1.58 yds/piece

In a short cut way we can find out fabric consumption of a Dress shirt in the following way:-
