Made to measure
Made-to-measure clothing, ordered online
Made-to-measure clothing is cut and sewn to your own measurements instead of a standard size. At LINSILK you order online: choose a piece in silk, linen or a high frequency fabric, choose its colour, enter fifteen measurements, and it is cut and sewn for you in 2–4 weeks, then dispatched from Geneva.
How it works
- Choose a piece from the women’s or men’s collection.
- Choose its colour from the swatches of its cloth (48 silk colours, 40 linen colours, 12 cashmere colours).
- Enter your measurements, with the measuring guide beside you. No fittings: measure yourself, or take the guide to any tailor.
- It is cut and sewn in 2–4 weeks from your confirmed sheet, inspected twice, then sent with tracking.
What you pay
Pieces run from CHF 65 to CHF 359 (silk from CHF 65, linen from CHF 119). There is no extra charge for cutting to your measurements: every piece is made that way. Prices are in Swiss francs; duty and delivery depend on where you are.
Made-to-measure, tailor-made, custom-made or bespoke?
LINSILK is made to measure, also called tailor-made or custom-made: a pattern drawn from your measurements, cut and sewn individually. It is not bespoke in the strict tailoring sense, which adds fittings and a trial garment. LINSILK does not hold fittings.
Have a dress made online, without a fitting
You measure yourself with the guide (about ten minutes with a soft tape), or take the guide to any tailor. Nothing is cut until you confirm your sheet in writing, and each piece is checked twice against your numbers before dispatch.
Want something not in the collection?
Design your own piece as a commission: choose a base silhouette and the cloth, write a brief, and the tailor replies with a price. Design your own
Questions
What is made-to-measure clothing?

How long does made-to-measure take?
At LINSILK, 2–4 weeks from the day your measurement sheet is confirmed, plus delivery: Switzerland 2–3 days, the EU and UK 3–6 days, the rest of the world 5–10 days.
Do I need a fitting?
No. LINSILK does not hold fittings: you measure yourself with the measuring guide, or take the guide to any tailor, and the piece is inspected twice against your measurements before it is dispatched from Geneva.
What if I measure wrong?
The measurement sheet flags a figure outside the usual range for that zone so you can check the tape, and nothing is cut until you confirm your sheet in writing.
Can I have a dress made online?
Yes. Choose a piece in silk, linen or a high frequency fabric, choose its colour from the swatches, enter your measurements, and LINSILK cuts and sews it for you in 2–4 weeks, then dispatches it from Geneva.
