Those don't look like eyelets to me, at least sewn with just thread. If
they were there would be dimple-like tension indents in the fabric around
each one and there isn't. They do look like disks of some sort (buttons

That sounds like a knitting technique, Bjarne? Or did she manipulate it liek
this after making the flat knitting up? Once you have the rhythm of this
stitch, it goes very quickly. It becomes addictive and one starts to want
smocking up everything just to put the new toy to use. :-)

It seems worth mentioning that there have been archaeological finds
from this general time period of actual grommets/metal eyelets.
Granted, the ones I know of were found in London, but since London (no

I really does make more sense that they are metal eyelets. There doesn't seem

Larry, I'm sorry you felt that way. I went on March 17th and got to be
on a docented toru, so I got a different view of the designs. You MUST
see this exhibit if you like 20th Century clothing. Early in her
career, her partner told Ms. Westwood, Go to the VA and do some
