Try this Explanation: Hi Dawn, unfortunately I don't have an answer (and not enough time to read through it myself), but I found a page listing all the occupations & their different names. Maybe you can find something here which would give you an "old-fashioned" touch of the word. (URL 1) The second URL is a page about 18th/19th century costumes. Maybe you can find something there.

garment measuring/ taking measuremnts for garments Explanation: These are my suggestions, based on the research below.This was a great question/challenge( I love sewing!)and am especially fond of everything 19th century... hope this helps you a bit- I got carried away and nearly ordered some patterns.. The 85 patterns and 91 fashion plates in this book were reproduced from rare originals of the 1905 American Garment Cutter Instruction and Diagram Book and 1907–1909 issues of the quarterly American Modiste. These publications were used by both professional dressmakers and amateurs. Taking Measurements for Gentlemen's 19th Century Clothing http://www.originals-by-kay.com/clothing/men/gentsmeasure.sh...
