Tailor-made, sort of. You get to pick your sleeve styles, your neckline, your fabrics – and most importantly, you send in your measurements and get back a garment that fits. You don’t have to wonder if that size 9 really is a size 9, or if you’ll have to instead get a size 3 or even a size 16! The variation between sizes even in the same brand is huge and it’s no wonder so few women really know what size they wear. A site like this takes all the guess-work out. You send in your measurements and you get back clothes that fit. How awesome is that? I’m not totally thrilled with the styles and fabrics offered, but it’s a start, and there are enough people who will like them that they’ll be able to expand. Maybe others will get the idea, too, to tailor make clothes instead of offering them in the so-called “standard” sizes, which are anything but standard. But that’s a whole other rant.
