We live in current year so gender neutral. I agree it should be unisex.gender neutral? Don't you mean unisex?
There ought to be a female assistant taking measures. I guess the dude's shop is still so new he can't afford to hire one. However, seeing how popular it's becoming, it would be about the time. In the first place, his time would be better spent on making the clothes, the female assistant could handle most of the interaction with customers.The setting is a little odd - She clearly is going to shops and tailors that are run by men (which is historically accurate), and doesn't mind, and I imagine these guys always measured on bare skin for particularly tight clothing; so she should have treated this like a doctors visit or any other visit to a tailor.
But hey, it's a comic about big tits and that's all, what am I expecting?
Pretty sure Tailors and Dress Makers were traditionally male jobs, but you're right, I think they likely had female assistants.female assistant
A tailor's wife and older (yet to be married) children would automatically be assistants, whenever they weren't busy with other (household) stuff. Though male children might have been sent elsewhere to seek their future fortunes. The one inheriting the shop might stay, but not necessarily if there was an opportunity to gain extra skills and wisdom from other similar places, before coming back. Hiring an outsider as an assistant would have also been very cheap back in the day. Before the 20th century, the proletariat made barely enough money to survive from day to day. A young, unmarried woman or a widow would have been it, I imagine. After her children grew older, I suppose an older married woman could have also used an opportunity to make some money.Pretty sure Tailors and Dress Makers were traditionally male jobs, but you're right, I think they likely had female assistants.
