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?
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?
