I'm going to assume that you meant to suggest this portrait as an example of Canadian smocking, but I don't think it is. It's possible that it's slashing-and-pinking, but in fact on close inspection it looks more like embroidery meant to look like slashing-and-pinking. Or it may be that this

Those are spangles and not cloth of gold. And though Canadians like to claim the smocking technique, it was done way before Canada was Canada. I vaguely remember seeing it once on a extent 1700s French stomacher. De -Original Message- I'm going to assume that you meant to suggest this

If you look at the dress it is not slashing. It could be strips of velvet woven together but I am more inclined to believe that it is lattice work. The embroidery (or small pinking) and the spangles are emphisizing the the woven look. http://www.savvyseams.com/techniques/canadian.php
