Abstract
Clothes available in the majority of fashion stores are not designed to meet the needs of people with severe physical disabilities. Some companies offer either the service of clothes customization or inclusive clothes to that public. This research was conducted through a case study of a patient with multiple sclerosis to collect qualitative and anthropometric requirements. The data analysis made possible to adapt a pajama to this patient. The study provides evidences on the need for changes in the patterns dimension, so that the user can wear it ergonomically; in the fabric selection to provide thermal comfort to the user; and in the trims selection to confer autonomy in the process of getting dressed.
