Kylie Jenner
Ruching is an easy way to add dimension to a skintight look. Whether it’s subtle and strategically placed, or covers an entire dress, there’s ways to make the texture work on any body type. But it’s not just flattering – it’s trendy too! Fashion forward celebrities like Dua Lipa and Cardi B have all been seen wearing ruched dresses to absolute perfection. It’s even been spotted on runways, modeled by none other than Emily Ratajkowski and Ashley Graham.
