This pair does the job easily, improving the quality of my cutting lines. They cut well paper, thin and thick cardboard, and fabric. I haven't used them with large pieces of fabric or for professional purposes, so I cannot comment on whether they're good for dressmaking or not.
The handle bows are large enough to easily fit hands/fingers of all sizes. I have small hands and I have plenty of room, but I still can control them well. They're pleasurable to use despite the size. See my photo against an 8-inch pair of scissors to get an idea of the sizing scale. Despite the size, they are quite light.
There are some downsides that I'd like to mention. The handle isn't specially pretty or stylish, and the material looks like a frying pan handle. When I cut thick cardboard, the scissors aren't as smooth or gliding as I'd like them to be, perhaps because the tip and blades aren't as sharp as classic dressmaker scissors are. Finally, the pivot screw is unnecessarily bulky and protrudes quite a big (see my photo).
The pair is cheap for a decent stainless-steel pair of every-day crafty scissors.
