Formula

Total (m) = (kameez ÷ 39.37 + salwar ÷ 39.37) × width factor + 0.35 m allowance + dupatta (m). Width factor: 1.2 for 44", 1.0 for 58". Gaz = meters × 1.09361. Example: 40" kameez + 38" salwar + 2.5 m dupatta on 44" → 5.23 m (5.72 gaz).

Worked example

A 42-inch kameez with 39-inch salwar and 2.5 m dupatta on 44-inch fabric: (42 ÷ 39.37 + 39 ÷ 39.37) × 1.2 + 0.35 + 2.5 = 5.32 meters (5.82 gaz). On 58-inch wide fabric the same suit needs 4.91 m. Branded unstitched 3-piece suits at 7+ meters include extra for design flexibility.

Frequently asked questions

About 5–5.5 meters (5.5–6 gaz) on standard 44-inch fabric for an average-size 3-piece suit: ~2.3 m kameez, ~1.5 m salwar, 2.5 m dupatta, plus allowances.

Branded 3-piece unstitched suits in Pakistan typically contain 7–7.5 meters total — roughly 3 m for the shirt/kameez, 2.5 m for the trouser/salwar, and 2–2.5 m for the dupatta — with spare for design variations.

Usually the dupatta comes as a separate piece in 3-piece suits. If buying running fabric, the calculator adds the dupatta length to the total so you can buy one continuous piece and have it cut at the shop.
