Cutsew

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Cutsew (or Cutsaw) is a garment that is styled like a blouse or dress shirt, yet is made out of jersey (a fabric commonly used to make t-shirts) and can feature embellishments such as lace. The term is commonly used when pertaining to the Lolita fashion, since this type of garment is common in the fashion. It is believed that the term came from combining the two terms cut and sew since the garment is usually made with a serger/overlocker which cuts the fabric and sews it together and that the term cutsaw comes from how the same term is translated from Japanese to English.
