Ruching that Works
When it comes to choosing clothing, a great fit relies on flattering details and sturdy construction
that grazes your figure just so. A pointed collar, a ruffled bust; the contrasted yellow stitching on a trusty pair of blue jeans–each detail affects the overall look of a piece and ensures its longevity in your wardrobe. When made truly well, precise and unexpected details work together to create garments that truly shine.
Ruched technique involves manipulating fabric texture and dimension through inter-pleating
and repeatedly folding the material. The process results in a textured contrast detail that flatters and
conforms to the body for a streamlined, curve-grazing fit. XCVI’s commitment to lively, attentive design stands out with the ruched detailing that peppers many of our clothes. Our designs often incorporate ruching because we know how well it fits and just how exquisite it makes you look!
