Tailor’s / Dressmaking shears are specifically designed for cutting fabrics and they have asymmetrical blades, so that one blade can be positioned close to the cutting table and allow the fabric to be kept relatively flat whilst it is being cut.
For the cleanest possible cuts, most Tailors and Dressmakers will use these scissors exclusively for cutting fabric and not use them to cut other materials, such as paper or card — although they are certainly capable of doing this.
We offer high precision, machine-made Tailor’s / Dressmaking shears and also high quality hand forged Japanese Tailor’s / Dressmaking shears, which are produced by a company with 400 years of experience and history. Regardless of which shears you choose, you can be certain that they will be extremely sharp and properly adjusted.
