Tailor is a Chinese vocabulary, which refers to cutting and sewing clothes, and later refers to people who make or disassemble clothes as their profession. It is a person who uses raw materials to cut and sew clothes according to the size and specifications of clothes made by human body. A tailor is a person who, based on the human body, makes clothing sizes and specifications through measurement, and reasonably uses raw and auxiliary materials to cut and sew clothing.

A tailor is a worker who specializes in cutting, sewing and making clothes. In the Qing Dynasty, Gu Zhangsi's "Local Records" said: "The ready-made clothes are called tailors ... the cover is a matter of sewing, and then one by one."

Also known as "Sewers" and "Clothes Makers", they were called "Sewers", "Sews", "Sewers" and "Clothes Makers" in ancient times. The ancestors of the sacrificial industry were Xuanyuan, Leizu, Huangdi, Youchao and Needle God (Song).

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, various names of clothes were recorded in Shangshu and Shijing, such as Xuanyi, Coat, Huang Shang and Embroidery Award. The court set up a "sewing man" to take charge of the sewing work in the palace. In the Han dynasty, clothing production has reached a high level.

After thousands of years of progress and development, it has formed a very profound and splendid China clothing culture. There are two kinds of tailors: shop opening and door-to-door service. Generally, the production of clothes has to go through tailoring, cloth selection, line drawing, cutting, sewing, nailing, ironing and other processes.

Tailoring is an ancient profession with a history of thousands of years. Although today's clothing and home textile industry has developed into a highly mechanized industry, the design and production of clothing and bedding are still inseparable from tailors, and tailors who design and produce high-end brands and provide customized services for special groups such as national leaders are highly respected.

It is said that if the custom-made clothing includes special crafts such as embroidery, it will cost 6000-8000 yuan; General clothing customization needs 2000-4000 yuan. Generally speaking, private tailors don't need to prepare fabrics, and the production fee is all they earn. A month, as long as private tailors receive more than five big customers, their income is as high as 10 thousand yuan.
