ruffly
Having gathered edges
Ruffly describes something having or resembling ruffles—gathered or pleated fabric that creates a wavy, decorative edge.
A ruffly blouse or ruffly curtains suggest feminine or ornate styling.
The word can also describe anything with a similar quality of layered waviness: ruffly lettuce leaves, a ruffly texture.
