fitted

The word “fitted” means shaped to closely match the contours of something, especially a body or piece of furniture. In plain terms, made to fit closely and precisely, rather than hanging loose.

“Fitted” is pronounced FIH-tihd (/ˈfɪtɪd/ in IPA).

Here is “fitted” used in a sentence: “She wore a fitted dress to the wedding.”

“Fitted” is an adjective.

“Fitted” is a fairly common word in modern English.

"Fitted" describes something already shaped to match contours, such as a fitted sheet or fitted jacket, while "fitting" as an adjective means suitable or appropriate. A fitted shirt hugs the body, whereas a fitting tribute is one that suits the occasion.

Both describe clothing shaped to the body, but "fitted" simply means cut to match the body's contours, while "tailored" implies custom-made or professionally adjusted garments. All tailored clothes are fitted, but fitted clothes are not always tailored.

British English generally uses "fitted" (the shirt fitted him), while American English often uses "fit" (the shirt fit him). Both are accepted, but "fitted" is standard when describing installation, as in "they fitted a new kitchen."

Typical examples include a fitted sheet, fitted wardrobe, fitted kitchen, and fitted jacket. The word usually describes items shaped closely to a body, surface, or space.
