In 1894 it changed its name to the Amalgamated Society of Tailors. In 1900 a female section was set up and the union changed its name to the Amalgamated Society of Tailors and Tailoresses. In 1932 it merged with the Tailors and Garment Workers Union to form the National Union of Tailors and Garment Workers.
