Made to Measure: The Art of Your Perfect Fit
Welcome to the heart of the Latex Atelier experience. Our Made to Measure service represents the core of what we do: transforming an iconic design into a personal masterpiece, tailored precisely to your form. This is not simple customization—it is the precise engineering of fit, where a garment transcends being worn and becomes an extension of yourself.
Here, you become the designer of your own perfect piece.
What is Made to Measure?
Made to Measure begins with a selection from our curated collections. You choose the silhouette—a dress, a catsuit, a top—and we then tailor every dimension of that design to your unique measurements. Unlike bespoke (which starts with a blank page), Made to Measure perfects an existing masterpiece.
This service is for you if:
-
You desire a flawless, second-skin fit that off-the-rack can never achieve.
-
You have a specific design from our collections in mind.
-
You want to personalize color, finish, and details on a classic.
-
You understand that true luxury lies in precision.
Your Made to Measure Journey: Simple, Precise, Assured
Step 1: Choose Your Design
Browse our Signature Collections. Every item marked "Made to Measure" is a candidate for your personal masterpiece. Select the style that speaks to you.
Step 2: Design Your Specifications
This is where you imprint your identity onto the design.
-
Material & Color: Choose from our library of premium latex sheeting: classic high-gloss, sensual matte, translucent, metallic, or pearlized finishes.
-
Finishing Details: Select zipper type and placement (standard, concealed, contrasting), trim options, and hardware finishes.
-
Personalization: Add monograms or specialized paneling upon request (additional fees may apply).
Step 3: Define Your Blueprint (The Most Important Step)
Using our comprehensive Fit Guide, you will provide your precise body measurements. This data is the digital blueprint our master pattern makers use to engineer your garment. Accuracy is paramount. We are here to help at info@latexatelier.com.
Step 4: We Craft Your Garment
Upon order confirmation, your design enters our Atelier. Our artisans:
-
Draft a unique pattern based on your measurements and design choices.
-
Hand-cut the selected material.
-
Assemble, bond, and finish the garment with meticulous attention to detail.
-
Conduct a final quality inspection against your specifications.
Step 5: Receive Your Masterpiece
Your completed garment is carefully finished, protected, and shipped directly to you, ready for its first wear. Expect it to fit as intended—secure, comfortable, and extraordinarily flattering.
The Made to Measure Advantage
| Aspect | Made to Measure | Standard Sizing |
|---|---|---|
| Fit | Engineered to your unique contours for a perfect second-skin feel. | Approximate, based on generic body shapes; often requires compromise. |
| Comfort | Even tension distribution, moves with your body without restriction. | Can be too tight in some areas, loose in others, causing discomfort. |
| Aesthetic | Creates a flawless, sculptural silhouette that enhances your form. | May create wrinkles, bunching, or ill-defined lines. |
| Longevity | Reduced stress on seams and material due to perfect fit; garment lasts longer. | Ill-fitting garments strain seams and material, leading to premature wear. |
| Experience | A collaborative, personal process resulting in a heirloom piece. | A transactional purchase of a generic product. |
