Here are some portraits of Mary Tudor with blackwork embroidery details.
(Portrait from the Gardner Museum)
The blackwork embroidery is done in what appears to be gold silk thread on both inside of her partlet, as well as the collar of her shirt. This portrait is of Mary as queen.
(Portrait at the Ashmolean Museum)
Look at the cuffs on her sleeves. The portrait above is of Mary while she was a princess.
(Portrait found at the Met Museum)
Look at the sleeves and collar of this shirt.
(Note: this portrait is technically listed as an unknown, but appears when searching the Met Museum website for Mary Tudor.)
