When buying fabric for a dress it not only depends on the size, but also the style. What pattern are you using? Is 60 the pattern size or the persons regular dress size? Pattern sizing runs small and is typicaly 2 sizes away from you regular size in a store. For example I am a 28 on a pattern but a 24 when I buy clothes. There can be as much as a 30% difference in material used for knee length dress compared to a floor length dress. Are there sleves and if so how long. If using a plaid printed fabric you will need to add a few yards extra to match prints. I would buy at least 9 yards for size 60.

How many yards of fabric does it take to make a full length sleeveless bridesmaid dress?

The amount of fabric needed will depend on the style of dress you are making, the size, and other factors. If you are making a simple dress with a skirt that is not full, it won't take as much fabric as one that has a fuller skirt. In order to buy the right amount of fabric for the dress you want to make, choose the pattern and the amount of fabric that is needed to make it will be listed on the back of the package.
