A textured laminate structure, comprising: a first layer formed of a first nonwoven web having a machine direction, the first nonwoven web being formed of polymeric fibers having a machine direction bias and having a first preexisting pattern of first apertures therethrough, wherein a majority of the first apertures define elongate shapes whose greatest dimensions are oriented along the machine direction; a second layer; and a plurality of spaced apart strands of elastomeric material oriented along the machine direction, disposed between the first layer and the second layer and bonded therebetween, the strands of elastomeric material having been disposed between the first and second layers in a pre-strained condition, thereby forming a pattern of rugosities extending in the z-direction present in at least the first layer when the laminate is in a relaxed condition, wherein the laminate structure is discontinuously joined or bonded by a pattern of adhesive disposed between the first and second layers such that the first layer is joined or bonded to the structure in first portions of the first layer and unjoined or unbonded to the structure in second portions of the first layer.
