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

a slightly fancier version down the bodices of loose gown and kirtle
of this lady

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?
