Answer:

Usually, tailors were men and seamstresses were women.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tailoring refers to a clothing item that is custom-fitted for the wearer. Because the clothing is custom-fit, it will look good on the person it was made for. A seamstress is a "woman whose occupation is sewing," (a male is referred to as a seamster). A tailor is "a person whose occupation is making or altering outer garments." Seamstresses/seamsters usually work with the fabrics, seams and hemlines.
