There's also ruching at the sides of the dress, right on the seam. That had to be done after assembly, of course. Just make sure to account for the extra material so you don't wind up with something too short. ;) You really could do either, assuming the ruching is down the center of a piece like that.

I'm an aspiring designer but Im still learning how to sew while juggling school, work, and 2 sick parents so its hard for me to sit down and learn by pure trial-and-error. Im working on a plus size label and you have tutorials for the exact details that i just can't seem to figure out on my own.

This works! Can you show us how to do smocking using elastic? I have an off the rack dress I want to make a pattern from, adding my own ideas of course so I'm not stealing another designer's work. Smocking is an important feature and I'm trying to figure out a good way to get the look without all the work. No, I'm not lazy, really! I'd rather spend time selecting fabrics and designing, than on construction. Yippee! This works! Can you show us how to do smocking using elastic?
