The construction features of waist support products depend on current fashion trends, the specific requirements imposed on the products by potential wearers and the characteristics of the materials used and of course the methodology for developing the basic construction. In the case of people with lower limb amputations, the construction also depends on the type of prosthesis and its size. The paper presents the results of the study to optimize the construction of trousers for men with amputations in the leg. The topicality of the theme is determined by the alarming increase in the number of amputations and the increased interest of specialists in creating clothing for people with disabilities. The paper aims to identify the methodology for improving the construction of the product of trousers for people with amputations of the lower limbs, using 3D simulation. The general objective of this paper is to propose a succession of optimization of the basic pattern in order to be able to be customized according to the type of amputation. The paper presents the initial data necessary in the elaboration of a customized construction. Also presented are the stages of optimizing the construction of the pants and the simulations on the body of the avatar of the pattern, even after performing the optimization. The use of 3D software allows obtaining the wearer's avatar and assigning unique features, which are taken into account when designing custom clothing products. They also allow you to check the position of the products on the body of the avatar and modify them according to the requirements.
