ruching was really big a while ago; i don't remember exactly how many months ago though.

apparently it accentuates curves, but i still don't like it... unless it's on matte fabric - and then a lot of the time it still looks tacky. however, it's usually on shimmery satin dresses... and i just think it looks so distracting the way the light glances off it when you're trying to draw attention to yourself (that sounds really bad! haha) and not your clothes.

opinions?

A little ruching on a top is alright, I think. It does a good job of hiding any flaws you might have in the tummy area. For the most part, though, I really don't like ruching in dresses, especially satin (shiny) fabrics; it's SO tacky. I can accept it a little more in something like cotton jersey, but it's still not amazing.
