Say, Body Length=70 cm, ½ Chest=52 cm, Sleeve Length=22ncm
For Rib, Neck Width/Opening= 23 cm, Neck Height=2 cm, Front Neck Drop= 10 cm, Back Neck Drop=2cm
So Total Fabric Price Per Dozen = Fabric Price per KG X Fabric Consumption Per Dozen
= $ 6.41 X 2.4211512

Finally our cost per dozen = ( $15.52 + $2.08 + $1.03 + $3)+ $0.12( Bank Handling Charge $0.12/dozen)
= $21.75
= $21.75/12
=1.81 per PC
