A garment facility produces custom-made garments according to the body contour and the fit preferences of a customer. Try-on garments for various styles of garments are presented to customers for selection. The tailor will retrieve the one or more base patterns associated with the try-on garment. The pieces of the base patterns are marked and modified according to both the body contour and the fit preferences of a customer and connected as sample garment for try-on. The marked pieces are recorded and sent to a cutting machine as digital data. Multiple try-on garments can be combined to form new sample garments. A favorite garment of the customer can be recorded as digital data to re-produce the custom-made garments.
