New word of the day

Learned a new word yesterday. I love when that happens.

The word is: bespoke.

It means (in the context I heard it yesterday, at any rate) unique or individually-tailored clothing. Although different dictionaries don’t limit it to clothing (like the Merriam-Webster link I used above; note that you’ll have to click on the word “bespoke” because M-W won’t let me link directly to that version of the word).

So, for example, it’s probably safe to say that an A-list actress like Demi Moore will probably show up at ceremonies like the Academy Awards wearing bespoke dresses.
