Circle Skirt Yardage Calculator

Calculate Yardage Needed for a Circle Skirt (Y)





Formula

The formula to calculate the yardage needed for a circle skirt (Y) is:

\[ Y = \left(\frac{W}{2 \pi} + L + H\right) \times 2 \div 36 \]

Where:

Example

Let's say the waist circumference (W) is 30 inches, the desired length of the skirt (L) is 25 inches, and the hem allowance (H) is 1 inch. Using the formula:

\[ Y = \left(\frac{30}{2 \times 3.14159} + 25 + 1\right) \times 2 \div 36 \approx 1.71 \text{ yards} \]

So, the yardage needed for the circle skirt is approximately 1.71 yards.
