If you travel back in time to the 14^th Century, be sure to visit Mons, Belgium – an important cloth market of the time.

Someone who sells clothes is a Clothier in the USA, a Draper in Britain, and a Quartermaster in the Military.
The person who makes the clothes is a Tailor, a Dressmaker, a Seamstress, a Webster, or a Weaver.
The person who wears the clothes may be a Model, a Mannequin or Manikin, or just yourself.
The person who cleans the clothes is a Launderer, a Cleaner, or a Washer.

Don’t forget that a Napkin is a Diaper in Canada and Britain; not something you wipe your mouth with as in the USA.

Just because one goes around in their birthday suit, doesn’t mean they’re an emperor. Speaking of which, here he is parading around in really invisible clothes. I think those tailors got it right this time – all except the crown and royal staff.
