A tailor is a skilled professional who makes, alters, and repairs clothing, particularly suits and dresses. They work with various fabrics and patterns to create custom garments that fit individual clients perfectly. Tailors often take measurements and may provide advice on style and fabric choices. In addition to creating new clothing, tailors also perform alterations on existing garments to improve fit or update styles. This can include shortening hems, taking in seams, or adjusting sleeves. Many tailors have a deep understanding of fashion trends and can help clients achieve a polished look with their clothing.
