∙ 8y agoIn English there are no masculine or feminine forms. English uses gender specific nouns for male or female.
The noun seamstress is a gender specific noun for a woman who sews, one who earns her living by sewing. There is no corresponding noun for a male.
The noun tailor is a common gender noun, a word for a person whose occupation is making fitted clothes for individual customers.
There is no corresponding opposite for these gender specific nouns because these occupations were defined by the gender of the person doing them. It would have been scandalous to call a man a 'seamstress' or a woman a 'tailor' because it would conjure up images of a male or a female working intimately with the body of a member of the opposite gender, regardless of the fact that men sometimes made women's garments and women sometimes made male garments.
The trend in English is the use of more common gender nouns for occupations since there is little distinction in the gender of a person performing a given job.
There is a noun 'seamster', but the definition is the same as for tailor. I've never heard this word used in my lifetime but I have seen it in literature.
