This study was performed to develop a mobile functional pattern reflecting the characteristics of the middle aged women's lower body types based on the slacks construction components. The results and procedures obtained from this study were as follows; 1. The bodys measurement of the 252 middle aged women of 45∼59 years old were used to analyze the size and somato type. 2. For multiple analysis of the lower body types, horizontal and vertical section maps were obtained by sliding gauge method and extracted constructional factors of slacks. 3. The following condition was determined with both standing and moving position of body: (gradient of C.B.L/2)+3°and (back crotch extention)+2cm. 4. Development of new slacks pattern drafting was based on the result of data analysis. Trough the wearing test by the sensory evaluation, It showed that developed slacks pattern was judged better than existing patterns in items of comfort of comfort of silhouette and moving.
