I don't know about the pleats, but this definition seems to imply the
long skirt and/or double cover on top were special:

Doublier: A long, and large Table-cloth of Damask, Diaper, &c. hanging
to the ground on both sides of the boord, and laid double thereon; a
Table-cloth for Princes, and great States. (Cotgrave 1611)
