ruching

In modern fashion, ruching refers to garments with large areas of gathered fabric that create a rippled or textured effect. Historically, ruching referred to a type of trim made by pleating bands of fabric and stitching them in place. These pleated bands were then sewn onto various parts of the garment, adding decorative interest and texture.
