To dream of a tailor, denotes that worries will arise on account of some journey to be made.
To have a misunderstanding with one, shows that you will be disappointed in the outcome of some scheme.
For one to take your measure, denotes that you will have quarrels and disagreements.

If a girl dreams that she has a tailor for her beau, and is pleased with him, it is a sign that she will marry a softly sort of a fellow, who will allow her to be both master and mistress after marriage. Here is a popular rhyme in illustration:
The maid who dreams a tailor she would wed, Will marry one who’ll be a log in bed; And she’ll be master, too, of all his riches, And, in the vulgar parlance, “wear the breeches!”
