shapelessly

Lacking defined outline

In a manner lacking definite form or structure.

Something done shapelessly has no clear outline or organization: The fabric hung shapelessly from her shoulders.

The word often suggests formlessness where form is expected: He sprawled shapelessly across the couch.
