SEAMSTRESS versus TAILOR:
Many people do not know that there is difference between a seamstress and a tailor in regards to expertise and skill level. While it is generally thought of that a seamstress is a woman and a tailor is a man, a seamstress does simple stuff, e.g pant hems and waist adjustment, add/replace buttons, sew rips, zipper replacement, simple tapering and simple sleeve adjustment. In contrast, a tailor does more complex work on men's suit coats, like tapering, sleeve adjustment with buttons, and custom coat fitting(alterations) as a men's suit coat has an inner fabric lining that makes the work significantly more difficult.

Aside, a dress maker, typically a female, makes women's dresses many times from scratch. Dress making is time consuming and requires a lot of expertise. Some tailors can also make a men's suit from scratch, which of course, is also a time consuming process and requires a lot of expertise and skill.

If you have very expensive garments, e.g. $700 suits and upwards to $2000 and $8000 suits and beyond, and the work on a men's suit coat or expensive lady's dress is not simple work like sewing on a missing button or resewing something that came unravelled, you should search for a good tailor as Cleanerama, Inc. does not currently employ any tailors or dress makers.

Cleanerama Inc. only has the skill level and expertise of a seamstress and not that of a tailor or dress maker, both of which are much higher in expertise and skill level than a seamstress.
