Ted, a snappy dresser like you should just buy 8 or 9 yards and get a tank! At least that's my opinion.


I do know that that the exact amount of yardage is determned by both the wearer's size and the sett.

But on the oher hand, having seen those really snazzy double pleated jobs, that's were I'd put my money if I were buying a box pleat. They really do look good.
