Lining Yardage Calculator

How It Works

Lining hides raw seams, reduces friction for easy wearing, and adds body to garments. For fully lined garments, you generally need about the same yardage as outer fabric minus heavy structural pieces. Polyester lining is cheapest, Bemberg rayon breathes well, and silk charmeuse is the luxury option. Always pre-shrink your lining if you plan to wash the garment.
