Whew... really not sure. Definitely not if it's blue/optic white; I can spot that *really* far away. It should match the lace, with a regular white, even slightly yellow. Silk lace, called "blonde" in the period, was very slightly off-white because it was the natural silk color. If the color was right, and it's delicate enough to gather the same way, I think it would work. Can you do a sample bit against a similar blue and take some pictures? Especially next to the lace you want to use, or a similar one? I think Samantha may have worked with silk net (I haven't) so she might be able to help with figuring it out.
This one shows what I mean about how the skirt is hanging. This is very, very expensive moire satin, and it falls in heavy-looking folds. Bonus - detail shots of the gorgeous silk lace, and the berthe which should also be silk net. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/228135537345553695/
