Just be a merchant trader's wife, as they usually are rich, and involved in importing in fine fabrics and other fineries that people bought. A tailor was not paid a whole lot to make up those fine fabrics into garments, and was considered just a craftsmen. And women didn't seem to be allowed to own their own stores, unless they were widows continuing their husband's job. I am applying this to England, and it may be even harsher in other countries of the time period.
