Why Made-to-Measure Clothing is the Ultimate Luxury for Any Wardrobe
The Birth of Custom Tailoring
One of the most frequently asked questions we receive from our online customers is whether we can adjust the fit of garments to their measurements. This inquiry inspired the creation of our made-to-measure service. We identified a significant need for a customized fit in the market, leading us to offer this option to all our online clients. In a world dominated by ready-to-wear, finding garments tailored specifically for you can be challenging. At Lilli Jahilo, we firmly believe that women of all shapes and sizes deserve to wear high-quality designer wear. We are strong advocates for custom women's clothing designed for all. Inclusive design is at the core of our values, and so, the Lilli Jahilo Made-to-Measure online service was launched in Stockholm in 2023.
When to Choose Made-to-Measure
A large portion of Lilli Jahilo’s dress portfolio is based on tailored dresses crafted from non-stretchy fabrics. These pieces often feature a structured cut, incorporating darts and linings that enhance the overall shape and support of the garment. The beauty of a tailored dress design is best realized when both the craftsmanship and the fit are perfect. Custom tailoring ensures that the dress is tailored according to the client's measurements, resulting in an impeccable fit. Unlike stretchy or oversized styles that don't require a custom fit, structured dresses look best when they drape perfectly on the figure. All of our made-to-measure items are handmade at our in-house atelier by the best tailors with years of experience. We only offer made-to-measure service for garments we have spent years perfecting. Rest assured, we will contact you after the order has been placed to confirm the production timeline and address any questions we may have.

The Perfect Fit in Custom Clothing
When shopping online, customers often feel puzzled about which size to order. At Lilli Jahilo, we provide a size chart with body measurements on each product page. It’s common for individual measurements not to align with standard sizes. This is where custom fit clothing shines. With our made-to-measure garments, you simply input your bust, waist, and hip measurements when placing the order, and the garment will be produced to your specifications. For tailored jumpsuits and maxi-length gala dresses, we advise you to add your height and waist-to-floor length in the notes section when placing the order. This way, we can ensure the garment is also the perfect length.
The Benefits of Custom-Made Dresses
Many of our clients opt for custom-made styles when they have important engagements, such as weddings, speeches at conferences, red carpet events, anniversaries, or simply when they want to celebrate and honor their true selves! Custom dresses offer a unique opportunity to express personal style and ensure that the outfit is both flattering and comfortable. When a dress is tailored to your measurements, it truly enhances your personal style and character. You can stand out from the crowd with confidence, feeling more comfortable and self-assured in various settings. Some clients prefer a unique colorway of a Lilli Jahilo classic dress style, making their custom-made clothing even more personal. Read more about some of our clients' stories here.

Lilli Jahilo on Inclusive Fashion
“For me, it’s important to offer well-fitting clothing for every body shape. Fashion should be inclusive of everyone. Very few women have so-called classic proportions; everyone has their unique body shape. That’s why it’s important for me to design dress styles for every body type and create custom-sized options from there,” explains designer Lilli Jahilo. “I believe in clothing that, in addition to quality and great design, is made with heart and soul—that X-factor, which we sew into the dress with invisible stitches. I hope that somehow this shines through even in our online presence,” she adds.
