Like Monika suggested, an envelope distort with mesh and the Bloath tool can do the trick.
Don't forget to set the Distort Pattern Fills option in the Envelope options.

Your best bet is to apply an envelope mesh that first does nothing at all. Object > Envelope >> Apply Mesh grid (define grid lines)
Then use Liquify on that gid. (Liquify tools are in a hidden group with the Width tool)
