1. 1量身訂做的(台灣用「訂做/訂製」;中國常寫「量身定制」)

    Made-to-measure clothes, curtains, and similar things are made to fit your size, not a standard shop size. Someone measures you (or your window), then cuts and to those numbers. It sits between ready-made (you pick it off a rail) and fully one-of-a-kind design: the style may be a known pattern, but the fit is yours. In British English this phrase is very common for suits and curtains; American English often says custom-made or tailored instead, though made-to-measure is still understood. Shops use it as a selling point: you pay more, and you wait, because the thing does not exist until they have your measurements. People sometimes stretch it to anything “fitted to you,” even software, but the home of the phrase is cloth and soft .

    made-to-measure 指衣服、窗簾這類依你的尺寸量身製作的東西,不是按照標準尺碼生產。店家會先替你量尺寸,再照數字裁剪縫製,所以它介於現成品與獨一無二的設計之間:款式可能是既有樣式,但版型是為你而做的。英式英語中常用於西裝與窗簾,美式多說 custom-made 或 tailored。它也是店家的賣點,因為價錢較高、還要等待,東西在量尺寸之前根本還不存在。

組成made + to + measure: made so that it matches a person’s measurements.
