Ready-made vs. Ready to wear
I ʜᴀᴠᴇ sᴏᴍᴇ 'ʀᴇᴀᴅʏ-ᴍᴀᴅᴇ' ᴄʟᴏᴛʜs. Is this sentence correct? Let's see, read to the end. Using the word 'READY-MADE' to describe clothes that are made in standard sizes rather than being made specially to fit a particular person is OLD-FASHIONED/ARCHAIC e.g. a ready-made suit. The standard expressions to use in this regard are READY-TO-WEAR, or OFF-THE-PEG. e.g. ¶ This winter's ready-to-wear collections from top designers are quite expensive. ¶ Virtually all businessmen prefer buying ready-to-wear suits to made-to-measure. ¶ It was only a cheap suit, bought off-the-peg.
