Dressmaking and Tailors Shears

Sheffield scissor making is a distinct trade from blade making, with its own guild history and technical standards. Tailors shears require precision in blade alignment, tension and handle offset that can only be set correctly by an experienced scissor maker. Every pair of dressmaking shears in this category is made and set by verified Sheffield craftspeople.

Available from lightweight fabric scissors to heavy-duty tailors shears for cutting multiple fabric layers. Left-hand versions available from specific makers. All pairs are origin-verified before listing.
