The body dimension was measured for the three tested persons needed for construction of the women's pants basic pattern design. The pants pattern design was constructed for a standing and a sitting position. A comparison and fit analysis of pants for a standing and sitting position was carried out and procedure for construction of the made-to measure women’s pants basic pattern design for a sitting position was proposed.
