unhemmed
Without sewn edge
Unhemmed describes fabric or a garment with an unfinished edge—not folded and sewn to prevent fraying: The unhemmed curtains hung ragged at the bottom.
Figuratively, something unhemmed lacks proper boundaries or containment: unhemmed emotions, an unhemmed sprawl of suburbs.
