In colonial times, dressmakers' earnings varied widely depending on their location, clientele, and skill level. Generally, they could charge anywhere from a few shillings to several pounds for their work, with skilled dressmakers in urban areas like Boston or Philadelphia potentially earning more. However, many dressmakers, especially those working for wealthier clients, were often paid by the piece rather than receiving a regular salary, leading to inconsistent incomes. Overall, their earnings reflected the broader economic conditions of the time and the demand for fashionable attire.
