Dear Melanie,

To me it looks really like embroidery, you can even se that there is used
deeper shades of silk in the center of the flowers, like thread painting.
Its the yellow flowers in the centers of blackwork embroidery on her sleaves
and on her "chemise"

Bjarne,
Do you mean the small gold things all over the gown and kirtle? I think
that these are metal quatrefoils with a central stone, not stumpwork
flowers. You can see similar items on the upper sleeves of this lady
http://www.tudor-portraits.com/UnknownLady50.jpg
a slightly fancier version down the bodices of loose gown and kirtle of
this lady
http://www.tudor-portraits.com/UnknownLady33.jpg
little ones all over the partlet here

and larger ones with square red or black centers on Elizabeth's sleeves,
shoulder rolls, guards, and fan handle.

Here's a closeup of a replica of a simple version with a square center

I just love the embroidery on the sleaves with the yellow buttercups,
they seem to me to be raised stumpwork?
