Tailors: made-to-measure fittings with online booking

How tailors can schedule made-to-measure fittings online: a first consultation, fittings booked from your list at each stage, couples and wedding parties.

5 min read

A made-to-measure suit takes a consultation, measurements, one or two fittings and a final collection, spread over weeks. Each stage depends on the last, and clients need every date in their calendar. With Book, clients book the first consultation on your own booking page, and you book each fitting from your list as the garment moves forward.

Made-to-measure services

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations and prices are examples. Put your starting price for a suit in the consultation description.

The first consultation online

Open consultation slots at quiet times, such as late afternoon or Saturday. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. A booked slot leaves your page. The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email: ask what garment they want and for what occasion and date.

Fittings from your list

Don't open public slots for fittings. When each stage is ready, book the next fitting yourself from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; with their email, the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file. Add a note, such as "bring the shoes for the wedding", so it shows in their calendar file.

Wedding parties

For a groom and groomsmen, book each person's fittings in their own name, so each gets their calendar file. Work back from the wedding date and leave margin for a last adjustment.

Changes

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the booking from your list, across services if needed. If cloth arrives late, tell the client yourself, since Book doesn't email clients about changes. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.

What Book doesn't do

Book doesn't store measurements, take deposits or payments, or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field. See the guide on alteration fittings and collection. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
