Ruckle
The American Heritage Dictionary gives this for ruck: NOUN: A crease or pucker, as in cloth
I looked for a relation to ruching and found this sorry definition:
NOUN: 1. Ruches considered as a group. 2. Fabric for ruches.
Onpedia says defines ruche as:
n. 1. A plaited, quilled, or goffered strip of lace, net, ribbon, or other material, - used in place of collars or cuffs, and as a trimming for women's dresses and bonnets
and ruckle as:
2. ruckle - make wrinkles or creases into a smooth surface; "The dress got wrinkled"
-gailr
who wants ruckle and ruche to be cousins...

I dunno; a ruckus?
I wasn't thinking along those lines, but look at the sheepishexpression on Sluggo's avatar.
