Italian term

tagliato ad un corpo

Italian to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
From a text on fourteenth and fifteenth century clothing. I'm not clear whether this is a general term indicating close fitting or a specific type of cut. Any help much appreciated.

Striscia in velluto tagliato ad un corpo: su armatura di fondo in raso da 5 ottenuta con un ordito ed una trama di fondo, il disegno è descritto da velluto tagliato.

N.B. It is a length of cloth so cannot relate to dress style.

Proposed translations

In English : cut velvet
it's the type of printing cutting the fur of the velvet

Utilizzando il telaio Jacquard da velluto della Scuola Lisio, montato su due corpi, Frieda ha creato due disegni e forato i relativi cartoni. Ha poi tessuto, assistita da Lotus, tre serie di campioni dal suo primo disegno utilizzando le seguenti tecniche: velluto riccio a 2 corpi, velluto tagliato a 2 corpi, velluto riccio e taglio a 2 corpi, il tutto su fondo tela. Per il suo secondo progetto, Frieda ha tessuto un campione con un fondo riccio con l’opera eseguita in velluto tagliato, con un solo corpo del pelo. Con gli stessi cartoni, ha tessuto altri due campioni con l’opera in velluto riccio su fondo tela, usando 1 dei 2 corpi di pelo per campione. Per l’ultimo campione, Frieda ha tessuto lo stesso disegno ancora una volta per creare un piccolo campione di velluto riccio su un fondo di velluto tagliato, usando un solo corpo.

I only made a search for you, answers were in the glossary, thank you
Note from asker:
Thanks for this. I have now found further references to it in the text. E.g. seta; velluto tagliato a un corpo, operato; tipologia del motivo: corolle polilobate ogivali tangenti, con melograno fiorito centrale su parallele orizzontali sfalsate
well pelo is fur so I think the term is used in relation to fabric of any sort. I'm finding it everywhere on the web but still not clear what it means let alone how to say it in English!
i.e. one pile velvet then? Thanks very much for this. You should put it in as an answer so that I can give you points.
Thanks very much indeed
