She said yes! But now I have a slight problem...

A bit of trade jargon (varies by tailor):
personal tailoring = a jacket and trousers already partly or fully made but then altered to fit you
bespoke = built from scratch
made to measure = simplified and cheaper bespoke, with more limited options. Typically cut and assembled in an offsite workroom but with an onsite tailor to make final adjustments

So when Auntie Madge knits you your christmas jumper, that's bespoke?

I always imagined "bespoke" meant having a bicycle made for you....

OOOOOH!
That's worth knowing.

I use iTailor for my shirts. You give in your measurements and a whole host of other detail about the design, it is all modelled in front of you with each extra detail.

The site retains your measurements etc. so tweaking or getting the same shirt in a different colour (for example) is easy.

It is truly fantastic and I almost always get compliments about them when socialising. Resulting from your post I just went through the same procedure for a suit. £139 + £33 shipping (from Thailand where the clothes are made to order).

No idea how the suit will work out bit if it is anything like the shirts then I will be very pleased.
