This study was performed to provide fundamental data on middle-aged women`s upper torso by classifying the upper torso somatotype and analyzing the characteristics of their somatotype. Factor analysis of principal component model was used to 38 directly measured items, and cluster analysis was applied for classification of upper torso forms. Seven factors were extracted from the factor analysis. The first factor represented the items of circumference, breadth, and depth which were related with body size. On the basis of the cluster analysis using factor scores from factor analysis as being independent variables, the subjects were classified into three groups. Three dress forms were constructed according to the characteristics for each somatotype of subjects, the three-dimensional characteristics of somatotype were analyzied by the moire´ pattern and horizontal section map of proposed dress forms. Wearing test by moire´ topography was used to evaluate wearing outline, the ease of clothes and garment space. Moire´ pattern and horizontal section map were useful to evaluate wearing conditions, and garment space was changed by the characteristics of the body shape.
