Oh, I just remembered these techniques are in the Learning section of the BurdaStyle.com website too! They might help you with your JLo dress :)

Re: the JLO dress you saw on the front cover of the May 2010 issue of RedBook magazine…
That’s a really stunning dress, although I think it maybe made from a dark-blue chambray fabric, rather than normal (or light weight) denim perhaps? It looks to me like they have serged (overlocked) the raw edges of the fabric on the ruffles rather than baby-hemmed them.

GinaSophia made her own variation of the JJ Blouse – and it had a very similar style of dramatic ruffles to the dress you have admired on JLo :)
Dramatic JJ Blouse FREE Pattern – JJ Blouse
Maybe you could adapt it to your needs?
Best wishes, Seemane :)
