made-to-measure

Tailored for you

Made-to-measure describes clothing or other items created to fit a specific person's measurements: a made-to-measure suit, made-to-measure curtains.

It sits between off-the-rack and fully bespoke—the pattern is standard but adjusted to individual dimensions.

The term extends to anything customized for particular requirements: a made-to-measure solution.
