I think bias cut is one of those terms we use alot but don't really know what it means. I worked in retail for awhile, and i still had no idea how to explain it. I know that you cut on the bias, so that's why it's called bias cut. But what's a bias? I had no idea, so I consulted the dictionary. Here it is. I hope this helps.
1 : a line diagonal to the grain of a fabric; especially : a line at a 45° angle to the selvage often utilized in the cutting of garments for smoother fit
