Ready-to-wear clothes are made in standard sizes — S, M, L, and so on — so many people can buy the same design off a rail. Nobody measured you. The shop already has the dress. This is how almost all clothes in ordinary shops are made.

Though actually, fashion people use ready-to-wear for a designer’s regular season clothes, as against clothes cut for one body only. On the high street nobody says the phrase; they just say clothes. You meet it in fashion writing, museum labels, and whenever someone wants to set standard sizes against tailor-made.
