How tailors, dressmakers, and custom sewers are reshaped as AGI capability advances.

Only about 15% of Tailors, Dressmakers, and Custom Sewers is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.
Why: The `digital` scalar is heavily anchored by the top Work Context, 'Spend Time Using Your Hands to Handle, Control, or Feel Objects' (4.83), and the leading Work Activity, 'Controlling Machines and Processes' (3.82). While 9 of the 30 reported tools are IT/software (segment 43, prior 0.85) used for design and inventory, the majority of tools and the value-producing core of the role rely on physical equipment like fabric machines, shears, and dress forms (segments 53, 27, 56), keeping the work firmly in the physical band.
