How to say "tailor-made" in Japanese

• オーダーメイドCommon
  no-adjectiveThe usual choice for the literal sense: something made to order for a particular customer, especially clothing, and custom-made things in general.
• テーラーメイド
  no-adjectiveA direct borrowing of English 'tailor-made', covering the same made-to-order sense; as it is less common than オーダーメイド, that is usually the word to reach for.
• 別仕立てべつじたて
  no-adjectiveFor tailor-made in the sense of specially arranged: a train, plane or similar laid on separately for a particular group or occasion. A less common word, best kept for such special arrangements.
• あつらえ向きあつらえむき
  no-adjectiveFor the figurative sense of 'tailor-made': ideal or just right for a particular person or purpose, as if made to order for them. Use this or おあつらえ向き for this meaning.
• おあつらえ向きおあつらえむき
  no-adjectiveThe same word as あつらえ向き with the honorific お prefixed; the meaning is unchanged — perfect for, ideal, just right — and either form serves the figurative 'tailor-made' sense.

Use 「オーダーメイド」 for things made to order, especially clothing; 「別仕立て」 for specially arranged trains, planes and the like; and 「あつらえ向き」 or 「おあつらえ向き」 for the figurative 'perfect for' sense; 「テーラーメイド」 is a less common alternative.
