Leg Shape Types in Normal-Weight Women

This study aimed to analyze and categorize the leg shapes of normal-weight adult women in their 20s and 30s with the ideal body shape. In other words, it attempted to extract basic data necessary for developing pants patterns for adult women. Adult women were categorized into three leg types: sheep-legged, with thick and large knuckles and thighs but thin ankles and low ankle height; straight-legged, with thick ankles and knees and thin knuckles and thighs; and crane-legged, with normal leg and ankle thickness but thin knees. Developing pants patterns for adult women in their 20s and 30s suggests that sheep-legged women should use an outward curve instead of the inward curve found in conventional patterns to accommodate their thighs and provide extra leg space. Furthermore, straight-legged people should reorganize their drafting from a straight line from knee to ankle to a curved line that curves inward to reduce the amount of slack in the hip area. The crane-legged type requires a drafting method that sets less allowance at the knee. Moreover, new pants drafting methods should account for the unique characteristics of each type, including hip allowance and the inner and outer leg lines.
