I AM Aimé is a men's shirt, adapted to fit women. It retains all the hallmarks of the classic men's shirt such as the button placket on the left, the gauntlet cuff, the shirt collar, and adapts to women's garment codes with its 3 other lengths, its slim collar, and the women's sleeve. I have a lined back yoke to reinforce the shoulders, and can be sewn with or without a centre back pleat. My shirttail shape perfectly finishes this timeless classic.
