Yeah, but at the beginning of the Dead Eels mission, even Daud remarks how there were aristocracy visiting Drapers Ward and the place was THE area to be seen in by noblemen. This changed drastically in the six month period between the assassination of the Empress and the The Brigmore Witches storyline.

As far as I know, the Tailors' District never had a 'golden age' and simply just existed. There's never been a remark of the Tailors' District being super fancy-shmancy... at least from what I've read/seen.

Besides the Tailors' District was the site of rioting by the people demanding food, elixir and other stuff. They were cleared out by Stilt-walkers. This was during the time of the latter Dishonored missions.

Drapers Ward was abandoned because of the gangs, way before Corvo started dealing with the targets... or at least it seems that way to me.
