Best Answer

People had to make their own dresses and suits so a dressmaker did just that. Clothing was not sold in racks and racks in stores. To get a new dress a woman would by the fabric, take it to a dressmaker , get measured for the dress, settle on the style she wanted it, and the dressmaker would sew it. Sears was the first store to offer ready made dresses in their catalog in the 1800's and have it shipped by railroad to them.
