To create an ajouré pattern in fabric by cutting or needlework; to make openwork in textile.
From French 'ajouriser' (ajouré + -iser), meaning to create openwork designs. Used primarily in textile and fashion terminology since the 19th century.
Ajourise is a textile verb that textile designers use, but it's almost extinct—once a common instruction in sewing rooms, now mainly found in haute couture ateliers where skilled artisans still hand-cut intricate patterns.
