Sure enough, elasticized bands bunching together pleats of fabric is making waves in swimwear , dresses, little white tops , and even shoes. While one may question why the old teeny bopper trend is seeing a modern resurgence, we're asking, "What took so long?"

Basically, it's a can't-lose kind of situation.
