When choosing occasion wear, ready-to-wear and custom-made dresses offer two different starting points. One begins with an existing design and size; the other begins with your requirements.
Two ways to shop.
Choose a finished design when it already meets your needs, or explore customisation when fit and personal details matter.
A Simple Comparison
What Is Ready-to-Wear?
Ready-to-wear dresses are produced in standard size ranges and are available as finished garments. They can suit you when you have found a design you love, a standard size works for you and you want a straightforward purchase.
What Is a Custom-Made Dress?
A custom-made dress is developed around your requirements. Depending on the design, you may be able to discuss measurements, length, sleeves, neckline, colour, fabric and selected finishing details.
Ready-to-Wear
A finished design, standard sizing and a simpler buying process.
Custom-Made
A more personalised starting point for fit, occasion and selected design details.
Fit and Measurements
Ready-to-wear begins with a standard size, while made-to-measure begins with your measurements and fitting requirements. Custom sizing can be useful when you want a more personalised fit.
Design Flexibility
A ready-to-wear piece follows its finished design. With custom couture, selected details can be discussed with the studio, subject to what is practical for the chosen outfit.
When Custom May Suit You
- You want a personalised fit.
- You have a specific occasion or styling brief.
