The following null hypotheses was established for this study.
1. There are no significant relationships among subscales of the clothing & appearance self image measure.
2. There is no significant relationship between the self concept disparity and the clothing & appearance self image disparity.
3. There is no significant relationship between the self concept disparity and the clothing & appearance real self image.
Clothing & appearance self image of college women was also invetigated.
Measure selected for this study consisted of "Index of Adjustment and Values Scale" (Edmiston, 1960) and "Clothing & Appearance Image Measure". (Deemer, 1967).

The Results were as follows;
1. There were highly signific-ant relationships among clothing & appearance self image measure subscales except economic-aesthetic, physical comfort-social dominance in the real self image and economic-social dominance in the ideal self image.
2. There was significant positive relationship between the self concept disparity and the clothing & appearance self image disparity.
3. There were partially significant negative relationships between the self concept disparity and the clothing & appearance real self image.
The significant variables were aesthetic and social dominance.
4. In the clothing & appearance real·ideal self image, college women scored highest in care and lowest in social dominance.
