The word for today is…

bespoke (adjective):

1a : custom-made  
b : dealing in or producing custom-made articles  
2 *dialect* : engaged

Source : [Merriam -Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bespoke?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology :In the English language of yore, the verb bespeak had various meanings, including “to speak,” “to accuse,” and “to complain.” In the 16th century, bespeak acquired another meaning: “to order or arrange in advance.” It is from that sense that we get the adjective bespoke, referring to clothes and other things that are ordered before they are made. Bespoke has enjoyed a spike in usage in recent years, perhaps due to consumer trends that champion all things artisanal over those that are prefabricated
