What is a seamstress and what is an apprentice?
A seamstress is a woman who tailors or customizes clothing. Seamstresses can also be designers. These are women highly skilled in the art of clothing customizing and repair. The typical duties of a seamstress could be adding detail to a skirt, adding monograms to shirts, linens etc. taking in clothing or letting out, replacing buttons, mending, darning and a host of other forgotten sweing skills. Top seamstresses are accomplished sewers and are able to create custom garments. An apprentice is one who works under the seamstress to learn her highly guarded secrets of the trade. In an age of machination, true seamstresses are a treasured commodity.
