Literally, tailor-made clothes are clothes a tailor made for one particular person, measuring that person's body, so the fit is exactly right — not bought ready-made off a shop rail. From that, the word grew a much more common meaning: perfect for one particular person or purpose, as if it had been made for them and nobody else.
