The job is shrinking, not disappearing
About 33,200 people worked as tailors, dressmakers and custom sewers in 2025, and O*NET (Occupational Information Network), the federal career database, rates employment from 2025 to 2035 as a decline. About 3,700 openings still come up each year, almost all of them replacing people who retire or leave.
