the biggest contributor to the cost of any garment.
Excessive use of fabric caused by lake of detailed
planning together with inferior spreading and cutting
techniques can cause serious losses to the company, as
fabric cost is about 70% of total garment cost. Even small
wastage or saving of the fabric will have a huge affect on
the margins of the orders.
