Tailor's scissors

What are "tailor's scissors"?

Tailor's scissors, also known as dressmaker's shears, are specialized scissors designed for cutting fabric. They have long, sharp blades, which are typically 8 to 12 inches in length and are used for cutting fabric in a smooth, precise manner. The blades of the tailor's scissors are usually angled, with one blade flat and the other curved, to allow for easy cutting of curved lines and tight corners. The handles of tailor's scissors are usually larger than those of regular scissors to accommodate the user's hand comfortably, and they are often made of heavier materials, such as stainless steel, to provide greater durability and precision. Tailor's scissors are an essential tool for anyone involved in sewing or dressmaking and can make cutting fabric a more comfortable and efficient process.
