Abstract: This research was conducted to determine the ready wear problems of women wearing large size clothes. The questionnaire technique was applied to collect data for the study, which involved 300 voluntary women wearing size 44 and above and shopping at large stores with ready-to-wear departments in Ankara, where intense shopping is done. The data were evaluated by means of the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) software and when deemed necessary, chi-square ( �) analysis technique was employed. It was determined that the weight of large sized women varied considerably as per body size (p<0.01) and that the height (p<0.01), marital status (p<0.01) and occupational status (p<0.01) varied significantly as per the age variable. One of the major problems of large sized women about ready-to-wear clothing is the problem about the measures of clothes (p<0.05). It was also determined that the problems about the stitches of the ready-to-wear (p<0.05) and the textile used (p<0.01) varied by the clothe size and the major problems about their model (p<0.05) varied by the age variable.
