Subject Author Date It means that the dress is the only one with that design - One-of-a-kind. Many people are unaware that certain dress makers make multiple dresses with the same design in order to bring the cost down. Can be fine, but you want to know in advance. (NT) me Sunday, July 06, 06:14:51pm Do the BMDMs do one-off dresses, like Gavin and SR? (NT) -- Curious., Sunday, July 06, 08:47:23pm yes, they do, but I think the term is really "one-of" (NT) -- I sometimes see "one-off" but that doesn't make sense to me, Sunday, July 06, 09:56:25pm It really is "one off". It is a common term in UK. (NT) -- Honest, Sunday, July 06, 10:16:11pm I've only seen "one off," too, here in the states. (NT) -- ., Sunday, July 06, 10:41:29pm What is "one-off" short for? (NT) -- "one-of" is short for "one-of kind" but what about "one-off"?, Monday, July 07, 08:48:14am I suppose it would mean one off the press so to speak. Only one is being produced. Very common term though. (NT) -- now you have me thinking, Monday, July 07, 11:46:45am thanks (NT) op Sunday, July 06, 08:24:17pm is "bespoke" a synomym for "one-off"? Not sure of my idioms. (NT) tia Sunday, July 06, 10:51:23pm I think bespoke means more something like " special custom design". This does not warrant exclusiveness however... (NT) -- not-native speaker, Monday, July 07, 03:52:12am Just google it for a definition (see inside) -- we love the internet!, Monday, July 07, 03:56:02am
