Buying fabric for Indian clothing requires understanding three units that fabric shops use interchangeably: Meter, Yard, and Gaj. In most Indian markets, Gaj = Yard = 0.9144 meters. But some North Indian markets use a slightly different local Gaj — always confirm before cutting.

Standard fabric requirements: Full Saree: 5.5-6.5 meters (6-7 Gaj). Saree blouse: 0.8-1 meter extra. Salwar Kameez set: 3.5-4 meters. Dupatta: 2-2.5 meters. Kurta (men): 2.5 meters.
