A method of making a laminate configured to form a portion of an absorbent article, wherein the laminate comprises a plurality of elastic elements disposed at least partially intermediate a first substrate and a second substrate, and wherein the first substrate has a primary fiber bond pattern formed therein that comprises a plurality of primary fiber bonds, the method comprising: providing the first substrate and the second substrate the second substrate being undeformed; mechanically deforming regions in only the first substrate, wherein a perimeter of each of the deformed regions is larger than a perimeter of each of the primary fiber bonds, and wherein the deformed regions together form a pattern of deformed regions in the first substrate; joining the elastic elements to portions of the first substrate and the undeformed second substrate; and forming a plurality of nested rugosities in the first and second substrates by allowing the elastic elements to at least partially contract, wherein frequency and amplitude ranges of the nested rugosities result from the pattern of the deformed regions.
