A method of making an elastic laminate (10) comprising the steps of providing an intermediate elastic/fabric laminate (16) and segmenting the fabric layer (30) into fabric segments (31) by forming interruptions (32) which extend through the fabric thickness. The interruption-forming step comprising cutting/slitting/scoring the fabric layer (30) to form proximal/distal regions (33/34) of the interruptions (31) and incrementally rupturing the fabric layer (30) to form the remaining distal/proximal interruption region (34/33).
