A seamstress is a person who sews clothing and other fabric items, often working with patterns and designs. They may create, alter, or repair garments, ensuring that they fit well and meet the desired style. Seamstresses can work independently or as part of a larger team in fashion houses or clothing manufacturers. In addition to sewing, seamstresses often use tools like sewing machines, needles, and thread. They may also have skills in fabric selection and understanding garment construction. Many seamstresses learn their craft through formal training or apprenticeships, gaining experience in various sewing techniques and styles.
