Cheat

Fraud is a type of clothing that is designed to simulate an optical effect. Frauds can be blouse inserts , for example , which - worn under a cardigan - look like a blouse, but only consist of a collar and bib. In post-war Germany , the shirts of the older generations were tailored for children, with a piece of fabric removed from the back to attach cuffs to the sleeves of the shirt. In place of the removed back part, any other scrap of fabric was put in place, which was colloquially called a cheat because it could not be seen from the front.
