And then I turned tailoress and helped her out of her trouble. I sot the sleeves in proper, and fixed the collar. She had got it sot on as a ruffle. I drawed it down smooth where it ort to be and pinned it and she went home feelin' first rate. I am very neighborly, and helpful, and am called so. Jonesville would miss me if any thing should happen. I have often helped that woman a sight.
The ornaments on high days and holidays were gold necklaces and crosses, a profusion of rings and pendants. This of course was the contadina, or peasant girl. Opposed to her was the sartorella, or little tailoress, which may be said to be synonymous with the French grisette.
This arrangement delighted me; for, next to Nellie Gilbert, I loved Mabel Hudson best of anybody; and I fancied, too, that they looked alike, but of course it was all fancy. Mrs. Hudson was a tailoress, and the day following my visit to Mr. Gilbert's I was sent by mother to take her some work.

In Mr. Belcher's present condition of self-complacency and somnolency, she was not a welcome visitor.
This aunt was a tailoress and had been fitting out Mr. Manning, and now James must go home to have some clothes made. Jimmie boy privately admitted to Doris that he would rather stay at grandmother's. She was a good deal easier on him than his mother, and he didn't mind Mrs. Webb a bit. "But you just ought to see Mr. Green. He does lick the boys like fury!
Jake Wheeler or Speedy Bates, the journeyman tailoress, from whom little escaped, could not have said it was by design thought nothing, indeed, of that part of it. "As I live!" cried Speedy from the window to Aunt Lucy Prescott in the bed, "if Cynthy ain't givin' him a book as big as the Bible!"
