I can’t even do the beginner’s flower. It looks like I was forced to eat thread until I vomited it in a circle. (e: which, to be fair, is kind of accurate.)

This is pretty because it’s all straight lines, lol.

Some truly beautiful period corsets have real embroidery at those stress points, all floral and whatnot. I couldn’t hope to do that, but I’ll bet some of you can.
