I've had this linen dress i found on etsy saved in the back of my head for a while. I think it's very doable and i love things that look like formless pregnant sacks.
My (mom's) sewing machine is mildly spectacular but I don't know if it's spectacular enough to let me get away with sewing some fine ruching like that. Instead i was thinking i'd thread a thick elastic inside (or maybe two or three thin ones) and make a tie in the back where it can be adjustable. Oh look at me, i'm so crafty. Well we'll see if this works. :P

do it! do it!
yay! yay! yay!
Ruching is not as hard as it looks but elastic would certainly be easier and likely get you the same effect.
I found some elastic-type stuff at dressew that gets that effect.. you just sew it on with a few rows of stitching and pull these drawstring-like threads and voila!
Hmm.. I'm going to do a test run with winding elastic thread on the bobbin. but it sounds like i have a lot of other options. yay :)
