Ready to wear and Pret-a-Porter are terms used to refer to garments that are produced in factories and then sold in stores in certain standard sizes. These are more commonly referred to as \\\"off the rack\\\" garments and are available to the general public in many retail stores. Designer Pret wear mainly refers to garments produced by certain fashion houses that are ready to wear without major alterations. However, some designers only release their Pret wear in limited quantities to keep their designs exclusive.
Islamic clothing is now also available as ready-to-wear ranges from many well-known designers. They are creating a line of Islamic clothing with some designs and cuts and launching them in very limited quantities, either in their own brand stores or in some exclusive boutiques with some prominent designers. These Islamic garments offer customers the convenience and ease of buying and wearing unique abajas, jilbabs and hijabs. Department store brands, on the other hand, mass-produce thousands of garments \\\"off the rack\\\", which are placed in all their branches to serve people throughout that particular area.
The Islamic clothing fashion weeks held in recent years have been a major platform for most designers to showcase their latest pretension garments, in addition to their haute couture. Spring and summer collections are usually launched early in the year, around February or early March, while autumn and winter collections are launched in September to allow customers to prepare their wardrobes for the coming seasons. However, the Islamic clothing lines-to-wear lines exhibited during fashion weeks do not comprise the entire collection, which is later delivered to the store by the designer. These shows give more of an insight into the upcoming lines, leaving customers in anticipation and excitement of the garments to come.
Like all the other precedents available around the world, Islamic ready-to-wear lines have made life quite easy. Both higher and lower category garments are available, allowing shoppers to choose clothing according to their clothing needs and budget. Retail stores tend to offer low to mid-range budget clothing, as opposed to boutiques and designer brand stores which offer more expensive high-end products. Thus, depending on their social situation, people can choose which shops they visit to meet their clothing needs.
