Cut-make-trim. You supply the cloth you want and they will do the rest.

I know the phrase Cut Make Trim has been used for a very long time. But what essentially is the difference between cut and trim? Don't they mean the same thing now in modern english?

I believe "trim" refers to the sewing on of things like buttons or other ornaments in the tailoring biz.
