If you have reached the question of exactly what you can change about a made-to-measure item, it means you are already at the stage where the garment is made for you, rather than you adapting to it. At Roberto's Fashion, the made-to-measure (MTM) service has been part of our offering since 1999, because we believe that quality fabric only makes sense when it fits perfectly. Here is what you can personalize, how the process works, and what to expect.
Which items are made to measure
The made-to-measure service covers classic menswear staples - blazers, shirts, and suits. These are precisely the garments where a difference of a few centimeters in the shoulders, chest, or sleeve length is most noticeable when worn and hardest to fix in a ready-made model. Browse the ready-made silhouettes in the Men's Blazers and Men's Shirts collections to get an idea of which lines we can adjust to your measurements.
Exactly what you can personalize
Personalization is not just one measurement. It covers several levels that we discuss with you during a consultation - from the overall cut to the last detail.
Cut and fit
This is the core of the service. We take your individual measurements and adjust the silhouette so that the garment follows your figure, not the other way around. Sleeve and body length, shoulder and chest width, waist placement - everything is tailored to you so that the item looks equally good both standing still and in motion.
Fabric
Choosing the fabric is the second major decision. We work with fabrics selected for their quality - Italian merino wool, GOTS-certified organic cotton, and European linen. Each behaves differently when worn and maintained, so during the consultation we explain which option is best suited for the season and the occasion you are tailoring for.
Color
Within the fabrics available for the model, you can choose a shade - from classic dark tones suitable for formal occasions to lighter and more neutral ones that can be worn year-round. If you are looking for a very specific color, we will direct you to the closest possible option in the selected fabric.
Details
It is precisely the details that turn a well-sewn garment into a personal one. Lapels, pockets, buttons, and lining are discussed when ordering to match the style you are looking for - cleaner and more formal or more relaxed. We clarify these elements together with you, as the options depend on the specific model.
Final touches
For those who want the garment to be truly theirs, we also discuss final accents such as a personalized label or monogram embroidery. We confirm the exact options for a given item during the consultation to ensure you get exactly what you want.
How the process works
1. Consultation. We start with a conversation - what occasion you are tailoring for, what style you prefer, and what fabrics you like. Here we also clarify all the details of the model.
2. Measurements. We take your individual measurements to build the cut around your figure, not around a standard size.
3. Clarification. We agree on the fabric, color, and details so that there are no surprises with the finished item.
4. Production and fitting. The item is made, and upon receipt, we perform a final check of the fit to ensure that everything sits exactly as it should.
How long it takes and how you receive your order
Made-to-measure production takes about 2-3 weeks. When the item is ready, you can receive it by delivery or pick it up in person from our store in Velingrad, where we perform the final fit check. All shipments are trackable, and delivery is free for orders over 100 EUR. If you have a question about a specific order, write to us at shop@roberto.bg or call +359 892 030 004.
Why it is worth it
A garment tailored to your measurements does not just fit better. It lasts longer, is easier to style, and looks just as good after the second season as it did in the first. When you choose quality fabric and a cut made for you, the cost-per-wear drops - because you won't leave it in the closet due to discomfort.
Frequently asked questions
Can I personalize just one detail? Yes. If you want to change only the sleeve or only the length, that is also possible - we discuss which makes the most sense for the specific model.
Do I need to be in Bulgaria to order? No. You can place the order remotely, and receive the item by delivery or pick it up in person from the store in Velingrad.
What if I am not sure about the fabric? That is exactly what the consultation is for - we will show you the options and help you choose according to the season and occasion.
