How Much Fabric Do I Need? (Simple Guide)

How Much Fabric Do I Need?

One of the most common questions when ordering fabric is how much to buy. Ordering too little can delay your event, and ordering too much can waste money.

We help customers choose the right amount before they place an order.


Fabric for Backdrops

The amount of fabric depends on:

  • Width of the area
  • Height of the setup
  • Fabric type

Sheer fabrics like chiffon or voile may require more layers, while thicker fabrics like velvet or interlock provide more coverage.


Fabric for Ceiling Draping

Ceiling draping usually requires longer lengths of fabric depending on the design.

Soft fabrics like chiffon and voile are commonly used for this purpose.


Fabric for Table Setups

Tablecloth sizing depends on:

  • Table shape (round or rectangle)
  • Desired drop length
