The number of women with physical disabilities using wheelchairs is increasing, but research on clothing development for them remains insufficient. Therefore, this study conducted interviews with women in their 20s who have physical disabilities to investigate their wearing conditions and provide foundational data for tailoring clothing to their needs. The interview results showed that the primary considerations when purchasing clothing were in the order of size, design, ease of putting on and taking off clothes, and fabric. When purchasing clothing offline, they expressed that trying on clothes was uncomfortable, indicating that fitting rooms were often too small to accommodate a wheelchair. Conversely, in online shopping, they mentioned that the images of models typically standing made it difficult to assess the fit while seated. Regarding ready-to-wear for non-disabled individuals, interviewees were generally satisfied but expressed discomfort with the pants length, size, and fasteners. They found it difficult to put on and take off pants in daily life and the restroom. They did not use the front or back pockets of pants, and while Velcro fasteners were convenient, their lack of durability made them stand out from non-disabled individuals. The preferred type of suit pants was black, straight pants made of stretchy, wrinkle-free fabric. Awareness and experience with purchasing ready-to-wear for people with disabilities were almost non-existent. The results of this study are expected to serve as foundational data for the future development of various clothing items for women with physical disabilities.
