bias cut
Forty-five-degree slice
Bias cut is a technique in garment construction where fabric is cut diagonally across the weave, typically at a 45-degree angle to the selvage.
This creates a stretchy, fluid drape that clings to the body's contours: a bias-cut silk gown.
The technique became fashionable in the 1930s and remains associated with elegant, figure-hugging designs.
