Working out the quantity

Ask your tailor for the meters needed at the fabric’s width, since wider fabric needs fewer meters for the same design. Send the link, width in centimeters, number of meters and color, and say whether separate pieces are acceptable or you need one continuous length.

Composition and samples

Go by the fiber percentages the store lists, such as cotton, polyester or viscose, since texture in a photo says nothing about composition. Before a large quantity, ask for a small sample if the store sells them, or a daylight photo once the fabric reaches Türkiye.
