Do the calculations for the size of 160x200cm. The usual height of the collar 15 cm. Adding it to the double rate to width - 160 15h2 + = 190 cm, and the length -. 200 + 15h2 = 230sm. In addition, we add 20 cm. to the wrong side and hem. 210h250sm happened. In the store to look for fabric width of 250cm. and buy 210 cm. According to this formula, you can calculate material consumption for its size alone! If the fabric is wider - it is necessary to cut off the excess.
