Ready-to-wear

The word "ready-to-wear" refers to clothes that are marketed in completed form in conventional sizes. This is in contrast to "made-to-measure" or "bespoke" apparel, which is fitted to fit a specific person's body type. To put it another way, it is an article of clothing that was not planned and crafted specifically for one individual but rather was mass-produced in a variety of sizes and then marketed in that form. Off-the-peg may also refer to products other than apparel, such as handbags. This use is becoming more common.

Within the realms of fashion and classic apparel, ready-to-wear occupies a position that is very distinct from the others. In the fashion business, designers create ready-to-wear apparel, which is clothing that is designed to be worn without major adjustment. This is possible since most individuals are able to wear clothing that is created to standard sizes. In comparison to a version of the same item that is custom stitched, this one uses standard designs, industrial equipment, and construction processes that are quicker in order to keep the prices as cheap as possible. While some fashion houses and fashion designers create ready-to-wear lines that are mass-produced and industrially created, others provide clothing that are not unique but are produced in limited quantities.
