Completely unrelated, but I just noticed that “seamstress” still seems acceptable, despite shifting more toward gender neutral vocational titles. The only other one I can think of was “stewardess” which was changed to “Flight Attendant.”
Is there a difference between a tailor and a seamstress? Or is the latter just the female version of the former, and therefore an archaic term?
i read once that untangling fabric is the hardest part of domestic robots. we don’t have the math for laundry.
And we still can’t replace human seamstresses, reliably automating many processes is STILL hard

I think sartor is the old male version of seamstress, but nowadays it’d probably just be “garment maker”.
I vow for the old British “haberdasher”.
Haberdasher is good. Would the female version be a Haberdasheress?
