Confusing tags: frilled_sleeves, ruffled_skirt, ruffled_dress discussion

The ruffle* tags have been deprecated for quite a long time. Note that ruffles is aliased to frills, and the ruffled_skirt wiki admonishes taggers not to use it, not that this has ever stopped anyone.

I think that part of the problem is that most users aren't aware of the existence of gathers, which is the established tag to use for "ruffles" that take up entire panels of fabric in a garment (e.g. the white dress in post #1620983) rather than just the trim around the edges.
