Belonging to dressmaker

Seamstress's is the possessive form of seamstress, a woman who sews for a living.

It indicates something belonging to or associated with her: the seamstress's thimble, the seamstress's skilled hands.

The word seamstress itself has become somewhat old-fashioned, with tailor now often used regardless of gender.
