Fur coat with an uneven hem
I am translating a text about different types of fur coats and other folk dress. Could you please confrim if the sentences below could be written as they are? Thank you very much

He gave the figures on the frescoes at the chateau in Český Krumlov a character of masks wearing costumes with a certain level of stylization. However, based on the picture, it is not clear at all why this type of fur coat should be termed as fur coat with an uneven hem because it does not show any features like this and moreover, it is by no means similar to the garment from the other region

Answer

If we had a picture, we might be able to suggest something (or confirm that you're right). I was actually there last March, and I've just had a look through my photos in case I'd also taken a picture. No luck, sorry.

Would "with a rough hem" or "with a jagged hem" fit? "Uneven" makes it seem as if the dressmaker was careless (though it still could work in the paragraph).
