Bespoke vs Made-to-Measure: Which Tailoring Option Is Right for You?
When it comes to creating a suit or dress that truly represents you, there are two main paths — bespoke tailoring and made-to-measure. Both offer personalization and quality, but the difference lies in the level of detail, fit, and craftsmanship.
At Maydo Saigon, located in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, we specialize in both services — helping men and women choose the perfect option whether you’re in town for a few days or seeking a one-of-a-kind wardrobe piece.
What Is a Bespoke Suit?
A bespoke suit is fully handcrafted from scratch, designed exclusively for you. Every detail — from the cut and shoulder shape to pocket placement and lining — is made based on your measurements and preferences. It’s a true expression of individual style and craftsmanship.
- Completely custom pattern, made from zero
- Multiple fittings for a perfect silhouette
- Highest level of fabric and finishing
- Unique details such as monogram and personalized lining
What Is Made-to-Measure?
A made-to-measure suit starts with an existing base pattern that is adjusted to your measurements. It provides a balance between fit, speed, and price — ideal for travelers and professionals who want something tailored yet efficient.
- Based on a pre-existing block pattern
- Custom fit adjustments for shoulders, waist, and sleeve length
- Fast turnaround – ready within a few days
- Affordable prices from $100–$400
Bespoke vs Made-to-Measure: Key Differences
| Aspect | Bespoke | Made-to-Measure |
|---|---|---|
| Pattern | Created from scratch for each client | Modified from standard base pattern |
| Fittings | 2–3 fittings for refinement | Usually 1 fitting only |
| Turnaround Time | 7–10 days | 3–5 days |
| Price Range | From $250–$800+ | From $100–$400 |
