Trѐme is an app that serves almost as a personal clothes shopper. With a full and constantly updated catalogue of clothes in high street shops, boutiques, brand wear etc which people using the app can find using a complex search engine that can filter by store, type of clothing, colour etc. Or they can ask it to find clothes that might go together. Another service it provides is “the fitting room” this is where a woman will take a picture of herself and the app will convert a mannequin exact to those measurements, they can then try on different clothes from different stores to find which size fits them best without the hassle or embarrassment of trying something that doesn’t fit.
