How it grows
Like every skill it runs from 0 to 100 and rises a tenth of a point at a time as you use it: quickly while it is low, hardly at all on work far beneath you. Every try at a recipe trains it, more for harder recipes. Failures teach too.
All your skills together hold 700 points. Set Tailoring to rise, fall or hold in the Skills window (K). A people that is good at it starts 10 points higher, 15 on its own path, and raises it a fifth more often for life.
Using it can also raise your stats a point at a time, leaning towards: Dexterity (70%), Intelligence (30%).
