The word bespoke derives from the verb bespeak, to speak for something, in the specialised meaning of "to give order for it to be made." [1] Fashion terminology reserves bespoke for individually patterned and crafted men's clothing, analogous to women's haute couture, [2] as opposed to mass-manufactured ready-to-wear (off-the-peg or off-the-rack).
A typical price increase for a bespoke fashion item is 15% higher than the price of a ready-made garment. [7] Making bespoke MTM garments takes longer than ready-to-wear (RTW), but not as long as making bespoke garments. Unlike Bespoke, which is traditionally sewn by hand, makers or tailors use MTM for both machine and hand sewing.
After that, the adjective was generally associated with men's tailor-made suits. [2] Before about the 19th century, most clothing was made to measure, or bespoke, whether made by professional tailors or dressmakers, or as often, at home. The same applied to many other types of goods.
