I love this type of embroidery! It's flat metal thread, I've seen it used in lots of the royal gowns I researched online when I made my Napoleonic court gown last summer. It's completely amazing and looks gorgeous in a large floral motif-- but this... this... all those itty bitty dots-- that's plain bonkers!! Whomever made that was probably committed to an insane asylum afterward.
