Made-to-Measure

Made-to-Measure (n., adj.)

Clothing pieces that have been precut to a standard form but not yet assembled until the client is measured.

The tailor will then select the pieces that best fit the client’s measurements. Afterwards the tailor will assemble the garment using these selected pieces.

Made-to-Measure assures a better fitting garment than ready-to-wear, but is not as labor intensive as bespoke. The most common clothing made-to-measure is men’s suits.
