Atcually I have seen the book this was scanned from (I recongise a lot of the pictures shown on the site from a couple of books I've got my paws on) and they were definitely not butterflies;) The centre is too button like. I don't think they are flowers either, seeing as here are four loops and flowers tend towards prime numbers for petals. Given the four lobed bows on the glove portrait I'd be more inclined to see these as bows. I'm not sure how pbvious it is in the online image, but in my copy you can see they alternating centres are quite different. The pearls are just pearls with no obvious mountings and the "balck" are set in gold, like the red jewels are in the lobes. It also looks like there are pearls going up the centre, graduating in size from large to small. She has a pearl girdle with red and "black" stones. The skirt has a line down centre front that could be a crease or a join. I think the top edge of her bodice is just at the tops of the jewels, and there is a wide expanse of cmock I think... there looks like faint red lines of embroidery micahela http://glittersweet.com -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
