Made-to-measure garments generally have a better fit than garments produced to standard measurements. However, it still gets limited by a number of factors that affect fit, such as:
Measurement errors: When taking the customer's measurements, measurement errors may occur, which means that the final garments do not fit properly.
Changes in body shape: The customer's body may change over time which may lead to a change in the fit of the garment.
Limited measuring points: When taking the customer's measurements, only the most important measuring points are usually used, which means that any deviations in the body shape can be overlooked. A big difference when you have your clothing made bespoke is that specific body measurements are taken that not only match your measurements but also take into account your specific way of moving and in relation to the specific garment.
Choice of material: The material the garment is made of can also affect the fit. For example, fabrics that are less stretchy may not fit as well as fabrics that are more stretchy.
Production processes: The production process of made-to-measure clothing can also influence the final fit. If the production is not accurate enough, this can result in garments that do not fit properly. In addition, with Bespoke Tailoring you have a more extensive choice regarding the making of the garment.
