Who is a tailor?

A tailor is a professional who specializes in making or altering clothing to fit an individual's unique body shape and measurements. Tailors typically work with high-quality fabrics and use specialized techniques to create custom-made clothing that is tailored to each client's specific needs and preferences. Tailors may work in a variety of settings, including standalone shops, department stores, or custom design studios, and they may offer a range of services, including bespoke tailoring, alterations, and repairs. Tailors may also work on a freelance basis, creating one-of-a-kind pieces for individual clients or collaborating with fashion designers to bring their designs to life. Tailoring requires a high degree of skill and attention to detail, and successful tailors must be able to work closely with clients to understand their needs and preferences and translate them into a finished product that fits and flatters their bodies.
