Dressmaking Scissors (or Tailor’s Shears ) are specialised, high-quality shears with long, sharp blades and bent handles, designed for precision cutting of fabric, allowing you to keep the fabric flat on the table for accuracy and handle multiple layers easily, essential for garment construction and quilting. They differ from standard scissors by having excellent balance, sharp tips for detail work (notching, clipping), and often stainless steel or carbon steel construction for durability and clean cuts.
