Frequently Asked Questions About Dressmaking Scissors

What are dressmaking shears used for?

Their long blades make dressmaker shears ideal for cutting long swaths of fabric, such as cutting fabric for long garments like dresses or cutting fabric directly from a bolt. They are also very sturdy and sharp, perfect for cutting through heavier fabrics or multiple fabric layers.

What is the difference between sewing scissors and dressmaking shears?

Generally, dressmaking shears are longer than sewing scissors and tend to be a bit heavier-duty in order to cut thick fabrics or fabric layers. They also feature asymmetrical handles for a more comfortable grip, whereas scissors usually have symmetrical handles. Many fabric shears also feature a bent design to keep the fabric flat against your work surface while you cut.
