Etymology

The term 'seamed' originates from the Old English word 'sǣm', which means to stitch or to join. Over time, this term evolved as sewing techniques became more refined during the Middle Ages. The rise of textile manufacturing in the 18th and 19th centuries brought further relevance to the word, with the industrial revolution introducing new sewing machines that allowed for more complex seam designs. As fashion evolved, the notion of seams also expanded to include decorative elements, leading to the variety we see in modern garments today. The term is now widely used not only in fashion but also in various industries that involve fabric manipulation.
