Would love to see the gathers when you do them. But how are you not daunted by unpicking the pleats and redoing all the work? The lace looks beautiful. doesn't look coarse to me, although there would, of course, be more delicate designs. I'm sure you'd have had all levels of ornateness at the time, depending on the wearer's means and the availability of lace. The beauty about detachable is you can make several with different lace styles, different lengths and amount of floof in the gathers.
