ABOUT TRIMFIT
3
TrimFit Shirts and Ladies Wear are made entirely in Britain by one dressmaker - LilyQ Vintage - and each garment is hand finished so you can be assured of complete attention to detail. TrimFit is not a large impersonal corporate company, I produce individual shirts for those seeking their own personal, unique style. I have 25 years experience, and have specialised in shirt making for ladies and gents since 1999.
Shirts can be produced for any occasion, but my specialism is Vintage Street Styles. From the 1950s through to the early 1970s, I can reproduce any style with exacting attention to detail. Whether you have a photo, illustration or even a description of a vintage style, I can recreate this for you. Perfection and understanding of your requirements is my priority in every job I undertake.
