Custom tailoring in Paris: experience haute couture
Understanding the art of bespoke tailoring
1. What is a made-to-measure tailor?
A made-to-measure suit isn't just an outfit: it's an experience, an encounter between your desires and our expertise. Created from your measurements, your silhouette and your tastes, it becomes a unique piece that enhances you with natural elegance. At 17:10, every woman lives a unique adventure: choosing fabrics, discovering textures, testing color combinations, adjusting cuts... and savoring, fitting after fitting, the pleasure of seeing her suit take shape little by little. Every detail - the length of a sleeve, the shape of a collar, the shine of a lining - reflects your choices and your personality. Guided by our experts in morphology, colorimetry and style, you benefit from attentive support that transforms the creation of a garment into an exceptional moment. More than a tailor, it's an intimate, refined and memorable experience.
2. The differences between ready-to-wear and Custom Tailored Suits
Ready-to-wear has the advantage of being simple and immediate: cuts designed for all, ready to be adopted in an instant. But nothing beats the made-to-measure experience. Still exceptionally offered to women, made-to-measure tailoring is a promise of rare elegance and individuality. We wanted to offer women what men have already known for a long time: the possibility of a garment designed for them, down to the smallest detail. Your morphology, your tastes, your aspirations dictate every choice: the fit, the collar, the pocket, the button, the lining, right down to the fluidity of the fit. The result? A piece that says who you are, with incomparable precision and allure. From the office to weddings, from business meetings to special occasions, made-to-measure tailoring sublimates every occasion and reinvents codes in a modern, refined version.
3. The benefits of Custom Tailored Suits
Choosing Custom Tailored Suits means going further than ready-to-wear. Where ready-to-wear offers elegance and practicality, Custom Tailored Suits adds a unique dimension: a garment designed just for you. Each tailored suit becomes an exceptional piece, tailored to your figure, accompanying your movements, enhancing your posture and reflecting your personality. It's also a sustainable and responsible choice, featuring noble materials and artisanal know-how. The price reflects not only the quality and longevity of the piece, but also the attention paid to every detail. At 17:10, we're committed to creating tailoring that elegantly endures the years: timeless, but always rooted in modernity. Custom Tailored Suits are the assurance of an exclusive wardrobe, combining refinement, comfort and self-confidence.

Tailor-made fashion trends and inspirations
1. Inspired by Parisian haute couture
Since the 1970s-1980s, tailoring has been a symbol of power and emancipation. Women entering the professional sphere adopted the trouser suit, the jacket with structured shoulders and sober colors: an austere style that has become a veritable modern suit of armor, to assert oneself, inspire confidence and impose one's presence.
In the years 1990-2000, power dressing became more feminine: flowing cuts, supple fabrics, pencil skirts, straight dresses and elegant shirts expressed femininity while asserting style. Today, the suit remains a strong symbol, revisited in oversize, bright colors or monochrome ensembles, accompanied by long coats and assertive accessories. Designers such as Saint Laurent, Givenchy and Stella McCartney reinterpret this silhouette, creating powerful pieces tailored to individual morphology and style, where tradition and modernity come together.
At 17:10, we continue this heritage by offering made-to-measure tailoring for women, a service still rare in the fashion world. Our mission is to dress women in this spirit: to combine power, elegance and freedom of expression, while respecting each individual morphology and style. With Custom Tailored Suits, every customer has a unique experience: choosing fabrics, cuts and details to create a garment that perfectly suits her, with the same high standards of quality and finish that have always been reserved for men. In this way, the suit becomes a tool of personal affirmation, a strong, refined and unique piece that elegantly endures time and occasion.
2. Personalize your style in 2025
Personalization is at the heart of the evolution of power dressing. In 2025, it transforms a collective heritage into a truly intimate statement, where every choice of fit, color, material or detail becomes a language of empowerment. At 17:10, the Tailoring Studio service offers a fluid and privileged experience: expert advice, wide leg selection of recent and prestigious fabrics, tailor-made support that respects your deadlines, and attentive follow-up at every stage of creation.
This unique process guarantees a wardrobe that doesn't just follow trends: it reflects your identity, your style and your requirements, while respecting the 17:10 tradition of excellence. In a world where women's made-to-measure tailoring is still rare, our mission is to offer women the same level of quality and personalization as that historically reserved for men. Each piece becomes a signature, a symbol of power, refinement and freedom of expression, to accompany any occasion with elegance and confidence.
