    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.

    Made-to-measure clothes, curtains, and similar things made-to-measure的衣服、窗簾和類似的東西,are made to fit your size是照你的尺寸做的,not a standard shop size不是店裡的標準尺寸。Someone有人 measures you量你 (or your window)(或你的窗戶),then然後 to those numbers照那些數字 cuts and sews裁剪縫製。It它 sits between坐在 ready-made現成的 (you pick it off a rail)(從衣架上直接挑)and和 fully one-of-a-kind design完全獨一無二的設計 之間:the style款式 may be可能是 a known pattern既有的版型,but但 the fit合身度 is yours是你的

    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.

    In British English在英式英文裡 this phrase這個片語 for suits and curtains用在西裝和窗簾上 is very common非常常見;American English美式英文 often常 instead改說 custom-made or tailored,though不過 made-to-measure is still understood說了還是聽得懂

    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 .
