Custom Womenswear
By Rachel C. Ristau
Where the fit of standard women’s clothing disappoints, custom womenswear triumphs. The pinnacle of size inclusivity, design freedom, and the key to dressing confidently, a custom outfit is sure to be the star of any woman’s closet.
We break the constraints of standard women’s clothing, offering both Bespoke and Made to Measure options designed to accommodate women of all shapes and sizes. Whether you’re looking for an assertive suit, an elegant skirt, or an eclectic jacket, all of our garments are made using your exact measurements, ensuring a perfect fit.
Our garments for women are crafted with the understanding that every body type can have clothing that fits. Where standard clothing brands may fail to accommodate tall women, plus size women, or women in between standard sizes, our garments are designed unique to each person. The detailed measuring process ensures that all proportions are taken into account, creating a comfortable and flattering fit for every garment and every person.
All garments are designed with you, ensuring every style choice for your garment is planned by you. Whether you want a soft and flowy look, a bold and adventurous look, or something in between, we work with you to ensure a design that fits your style.
Both Bespoke and Made to Measure are crafted with completely customizable features, allowing you to dress true to your style like no standard clothing store can offer. You have the opportunity to choose the fabric, lining and buttons on each garment; as well as customizing features such as lapels, skirt length, zipper placement, and the overall appearance of each garment.
We are proud to craft clothing for everyone, fulfilling the need for custom womenswear that is often overshadowed, as menswear takes up a large portion of the custom market. We strive to craft garments that are designed to be both striking and practical for every woman.

Made to Measure and Bespoke Tailoring: Which is Right for You?
Garments made through either process are customized to your body measurements and design preferences, although there are distinct differences between the two options.

Fulford Bespoke provides the choice between two tailoring services: Made to Measure and Bespoke. Garments made through either process are customized to your body measurements and design preferences, although there are distinct differences between the two options.
Made to Measure
Creating a garment through the Made to Measure process begins with an existing pattern that is adapted to your specific body measurements. A Made to Measure clothing pattern is based on the standard clothing size closest to your fit. This pattern is then modified to your specific body measurements, creating a significantly more precise fit compared to a garment purchased from a retail outlet.
Apart from the fit of the garment, the overall material and appearance is also customized to your liking. A selection of fabrics and linings are available to choose from, ensuring comfort and style. Furthermore, details such as lapel style, pocket style, and button placement are yours to decide.
A Made to Measure garment is a more affordable option that requires less production time compared to Bespoke. A Made to Measure garment typically only requires 1-2 fittings, and can be completed over the span of approximately 6 weeks, giving it the lower price tag of the two options. While Made to Measure produces customized garments tailored to fit you, the process is not as in-depth as Bespoke.
Bespoke
A Bespoke garment is truly unique to you. There is no existing pattern to begin a Bespoke garment. Instead, detailed measurements of your body are taken and a clothing pattern unique to you is created.
Hours of handwork must be put into one of our bespoke garments to achieve the desired shape.
A Bespoke garment is ideal for the creative individual, as imaginative style ideas can be brought to life. Fabric choices and details such as lapels, pockets, and buttons are customizable with Bespoke and Made to Measure garments; however, Bespoke garments can be designed to incorporate asymmetrical styles, inventive cuts, and eccentric detail placements as well. Bespoke garments are also ideal for individuals with unique body types or features that standard clothing sizes and shapes struggle to accommodate.
Bespoke offers a more precise fit and is entirely customizable compared to Made to Measure. As it is a thorough process to ensure the best possible fit and design, a Bespoke garment takes 3-4 fittings on average, extending the production time to approximately 12 weeks.
Whether you opt for Made to Measure or Bespoke, Fulford Bespoke creates special garments for every special event. Fulford Bespoke is proud to craft one-of-a kind garments, designed with you and for you. Made by hand. Made to last.
