Made-to-Measure: translation

Clothing that is made to an individual's body shape by creating and fitting on acustom-madedress form, from body measurements, or from a bodyscanned image. Made-to-measure clothing had been very popular until the introduction ofready-to-wearin the mid-nineteenth century. At that time, made-to-measure had been considered a luxury, reserved for only those who could afford couture clothing or the expert tailoring of suits fromSavile Row. However, recent advances inbodyscanningtechnology have begun to offer made-to-measure to the masses. Companies such asLevi's,Brooks Brothers, Land's End, and numerous bridal companies offer customization options to increase product visibility and to provide their customers with better solutions to fittings.
