Perhaps missing a historical sense[edit]

Webster 1913 has this: "Made by a tailor or according to a tailor's fashion; — said specif. of women's garments made with certain closeness of fit, simplicity of ornament, etc." We don't mention anything about women's clothing. Equinox 03:05, 5 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Also in Chambers 1908: "made by a tailor, esp. of plain, close-fitting garments for women, in imitation of men's". Equinox 13:39, 9 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
