untrim

Strip the ornaments

Untrim means to remove trim or ornamentation from something, or to reverse the process of trimming: She untrimmed the dress, removing the lace her grandmother had added.

The word is rare, appearing mostly in literary or historical contexts where decoration is deliberately stripped away.

It can also mean to restore something to an untrimmed state.
