This research deals with the ergonomic issues of elderly woman regarding the daily clothes. With the aging of the world population, combined with medical advances, new technologies and significant decrease in the birth rate in the world, a study about the relationship of the new elderly woman with her clothes becomes necessary, since their professional and social lives remain longer. The way elderly people are seen today is quite different from before, including their own perception of themselves, particularly when it comes to behavior issues. However, it is believed that the ready-to-wear clothing on the market does not consider the body transformations of the elderly woman. With the changes due to age, these women end up presenting a differentiated body of existing clothing standards in the market. In addition, the elderly woman of 60 to 75 years old still participate in an active social life that requires appropriate clothing for them feel well. However, this demand and the real needs of clothing for these consumers are not yet known. The objective of this research is to define design recommendations for designing and making clothing for the new elderly. For this, techniques such as focus groups, with the new elderly, and semi-structured interviews with designers, whose brands were cited from these women, were conducted. It was noted that the clothing available on the market do not always satisfy them, especially with regard to the models offered that do not favor the new body changes and the modeling pattern that is not developed for a women of this age group.
