Thread Wars: Seamstress vs Tailor, Choose Wisely.
Not all alteration experts are created equal. In this sharp breakdown, we pull back the thread on what truly separates a seamstress from a tailor. While seamstresses are often self-taught, minimally experienced, and focused on basic mending, tailors bring years of training, pattern mastery, and garment construction expertise. From precise fittings to reshaping entire suits or gowns, a tailor doesn’t just fix clothes — they transform them. If you’ve ever been burned by a crooked hem or a botched gown, this guide will speak your language. We’re getting real about who you can trust with your wardrobe and why tailor-made always beats trial-and-error. Consider this your style intervention.
