My sleeves are going to be huge!

No, seriously. These are the biggest sleeves I've ever made. They are 30" tall, and 36" across. All of that fabric will be from my elbow to my shoulder. Right now, all I've done is cut them out, but they are going to be ginormous. Just in case you don't believe me, here's a picture of the piece, with my 18" ruler for scale:

Hand-gathering, for sure! The only extant bodice I've inspected looked like cartridge pleating, though it wasn't as extreme as what you've got!

Yeah, I figured I would try it on machine, and if that doesn't work, I'll do it by hand.

Yay! Huge ridiculous sleeves FTW! I hope you get all those little moth buggers!
