What does made to measure clothes mean and why is it worth the investment?

In a world where fashion is often about speed and volume, more and more women are choosing to go back to basics: clothes created for them, not for the masses. This is where the concept of "made to measure" comes in – that is, personalized clothing , made to order, according to the measurements and desires of each client. We are not talking about standard clothes that are easily adapted, but about pieces designed to fit your figure flawlessly and reflect your personal style.

This choice is not just a luxury, but a form of respect for your body and what you wear. The quality of the materials, the perfect fit and the attention to detail transform each order into an experience – an intimate, authentic and unrepeatable one.

At Monarh Design by Larisa Lupoiu , we have been offering this experience since 2012. In our workshop, each piece is made with care, passion and meticulousness, to meet the exact needs of our clients. Over the years, we have created hundreds of custom-made clothes , for women who know who they are and are not afraid to show it.

What does a custom piece involve?

A made-to-measure garment is not just an article of clothing, but the result of a careful and deeply personal process. At Monarh, made-to-measure service means more than clothes that fit you – it means clothes that know you .

It all starts with an honest conversation between you and the designer, where we understand what you want and need. We take your exact measurements, so that every line of the piece follows the shape of your body, not a standard pattern. Then, together we choose the ideal material and offer you the opportunity to customize the model – you can change the length, type of sleeves, neckline or other details that reflect your style. If you want a different color or texture, you can select it from our palette, which includes only carefully selected materials.

After an intermediate fitting, where we adjust everything as necessary, the final finishing touches and delivery of the piece follow. It is an elegant, creative and deeply individual process, where an idea becomes reality, and you receive not just a garment, but an extension of your identity.

Why does it cost more – and why is it worth it?

A made-to-measure piece is, by definition, more than just a simple garment. It is a creation made especially for you, with time, attention and care. Unlike mass-produced products, which are quickly cut in factories, according to standard patterns, a personalized piece involves a complex process: hand-cut, precise adjustments, meticulous finishing .

The materials we use at Monarh are natural or blended fabrics of superior quality , carefully chosen for each model. We test the texture, the drape, the comfort – because a good piece must look good, but also feel good. There are no compromises here.

The cut is made for you – you don't have to mold yourself to a garment, the garment molds itself to you. And this is visible not only in the mirror, but also in the way you feel wearing it.

Moreover, a personalized piece lasts over time : it does not deform, does not go out of fashion easily, is not influenced by the rapid passing of trends. It is a conscious choice, with style and meaning.

And perhaps the most important reason? Uniqueness. Your piece is yours alone. You won't see it in the shop windows, "not everyone" will wear it. It's created especially for you, and that's why... it's worth every penny.

Who is this option suitable for?

The made to measure service is not just for rare occasions or a certain type of silhouette – on the contrary, it is ideal for any woman who wants to feel seen, listened to and understood through what she wears.

It's the perfect choice for women who know what looks good on them and want a piece that highlights exactly what they need – their waist, their shoulder line, their body's fluidity. They're not looking for clothes that just "fit", but clothes that express them .

It is also a real solution for those who are not found in the standard measurements in stores. For real bodies – with differences in proportions, height, torso length or arms – a made-to-measure piece is not a fad, but a natural necessity .

Monarh creates such pieces for both special events – weddings, baptisms, galas or photo shoots – and for everyday wardrobe. A simple but perfectly tailored dress can become a favorite piece in your closet, worn for years.

Additionally, if you like a model from our collection but need some minor adjustments, we also offer the semi-custom option: we keep the basic design, but adapt it to your measurements and preferences. An ideal balance between creative freedom and comfort.

Wearing a piece of clothing that truly feels like you is not a fad, but a conscious choice. Whether you opt for a made-to-measure creation, tailored to your silhouette and personal tastes, or choose a piece from the Monarh collections, already available and designed to flatter and inspire — each version tells a story.

At Monarh, we believe that fashion is not just about wearing something beautiful, but about wearing something that suits you – in form, in emotion, in intention.
