bias-cut

"tombadas" could also apply to the cut of the fabric, as i think it's the case; but if it's just talking about the direction of the stitches, then it would be "slanted seam".

"All clothes' seams are slanted and double stitched"
"All clothes are bias-cut and double-stitched" I think this is the case.

the waistband is cut on the bias (diagonally) for stretch and an unrestricted fit.
