This paper presented the investigation of wearable textile slot linear array (TSLA) antenna under flat, curvature and crumple conditions in free space designed for body worn communication application. The antenna substrate is made of 0.78 mm denim fabric with conducting monopole and ground plane is made of 0.17 mm shieldit fabric. The antenna is designed at resonant frequency of 2.45 GHz Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) band. Simulated results show that the antenna curve and crumple significantly detuned the antenna resonance frequency and altered the antenna radiation pattern while decreased realized gain value
