What is the difference between a "tailor" and a "seamstress"?
In my mind, a "tailor", usually a male, usually worked with men's clothing; and a "seamstress", usually a female, worked with women's and children's clothing. (This idea may or may not be correct - but it's what I have thought.)
(I have seen a lot of seam-stress in some of the tight jeans that some people wear!)
