Ready
-to-
wear
, in
French
.
Clothes
you can buy in a
store
and wear immediately, as opposed to
haute couture
, that has to be fitted/made to
measure
by several
freak
s.
There are something like 200
client
s in the whole world for haute couture, and they're probably all married to the same
Saudi Arabia
n
prince
, so what you're wearing now is probably pret-a-porter.

Properly spelled
Prêt-à-Porter
(I guess e2 doesn't support those characters in node titles), is
ready to wear
in
French
. These are the clothes that are sold in stores, versus being fitted. Eventually everything you see on the
runway
winds up being toned down to be ready to wear.
This is also the original title of the movie
Ready to Wear
, directed by
Robert Altman
. Like most of his films, there are star
cameos
, and
supporting cast
everywhere. From
Sophia Loren
, to
Kim Basinger
. They use the fashion shows of
France
as a backdrop for a murder movie. Although it is about
murder
, it is still very much a
comedy
.
