This study designs Dang-ui pattern fit to body characteristics of early elementary schoolgirls and actions based on esthetic characteristics of our traditional costume, and aims at letting school-age children enjoy and wear our traditional costume through manufacturing traditional full dresses having high functionality for children who do a lot of physical activities. Regarding to research methods, the study analyzed the size of dang-ui pattern in existing textbooks on Korean costume’s configuration theory, and set up allowances to the width and length based on ‘Jegory Original Design of Early Elementary School Girls (Lee Jeong Eun, 2003)’ as a preceding research, and thus completed the research original form through 1st and 2nd wearing experiments after designing the experimental origin form. In order to check compatibility of the finished research original form, fitness evaluation was carried out. This research original form set up the length ratio vs. total length compared to existing original forms by considering body proportion and characteristics of school-age children, and laid differences between the front and back by enlarging 1m more to back width than front one by reflecting upon body characteristics of early elementary schoolgirls to whom the back width was larger owing to projection of scapula. Also, the point of enhancing fitness of neck parts by making upper parts of collar lines three-dimensional as a designing method of deepening the neck line while lessening its width compared to existing original forms etc is corresponded to the original form designing method differentiated from existing ones.
