How to measure fabric for draping on a chair?

Hi, I'm wanting to drape a wing-back arm chair with some fabric rather than reupholster it, and I'm not sure how to get the measurements for it. Could someone help me? Thanks!

Answer:

a fail proof way to get an idea of how much fabric you will need: Take a tablecloth and drape it over the chair. This will give you a feeling of how much fabric you will need. If the tablecloth is too big, buy less fabric than the table cloth measurements and vice versa. I realize this is not a professional way to measure, but for the layman, it is a great way to get the spacial measurement needed.
