You just have to have at least a metre more fabric than you would allocate for a 45" fabric - more perhaps if you have a one way design. The way you fold your fabric before cutting could help too, but I suggest that you just fold the fabric lengthways and you will have to place the pattern pieces under one another instead of two pieces facing - d'you know what I mean ?? PM me if you need clarification.
Also, try Googling dressmaking patterns for 36" material. or Vintage dressmaking patterns. Do you know any old ladies who were tailoresses or dressmakers ? Try the museums...V&A perhaps ???
Lucky you finding that lovely fabric. What are you going to make ??
