Except for the bodice, belt and sleeves, the rest of these are patches.  They have fusible web on them so they can be fused into place to keep them stable while Rose then uses a clear monofilament to sew them to her fabric.  There are near 40 patches in this set.
 

Now, this pic below was an idea we tried instead of the design embroidered on the velvet:

It is a free-standing “lace” patch.  Turned out nicely, but we both agreed that by the time she finished going around these edges to attach this, she might as well have embroidered the whole thing herself!   It worked better against the black velvet as well.
