This shows some other portraits of similar fullness of skirt. Click on the picture for bigger picture and info in Spanish. Then click on that picture with enlargement features (note: 200% is fuzzy) http://pintura.aut.org/BU04?Autnum=11680&Empnum=0&Inicio=46 I'm not sure, cartridge pleating looks possible. Some techniques usually don't disappear so easily.
You also clearly sees her wooden busk trough the bodice, this i never noticed before. This must be a heavy duchesse satin, and imagine to pleat so much width into such a small waist, you really must use cartridge pleats :-) sorry i keep on
