What is bespoke tailoring?

Bespoke tailoring is a manner of clothing production whereby the design, the fit, the fabric and the details are entirely tailored to the wishes of the client.

Contrary to made-to-measure garments, which are based on existing patterns and sizes and have few and limited options for alterations, bespoke tailoring begins with a blanco sheet and every detail of the garment will be designed and altered to meet the client’s specific requirements.

Bespoke tailoring often offers multiple fitting and measuring sessions in order to make sure the garment will fit perfectly and wears comfortably. This process can take weeks or even months, depending on the type of garment and the complexity of the design.
