French for a tailored suit, commonly a jacket worn with a matching skirt or trousers.
In garment vocabulary, tailleur refers to a tailored suit with a jacket and matching skirt or trousers. The French word also has a workshop meaning, so its context matters. A couture house may distinguish its Tailleur atelier, which works with thick and structured fabrics, from its Flou atelier. The French Ministry of Culture records separate equipment for these disciplines and a stronger, open thimble for controlling structured materials in Tailleur work. A product description can therefore use the word for the suit itself, while an atelier description can use it for the tailoring discipline.
