I've seen pictures of a certain kind of embroidery common around the Victorian times. It's sort of like these earrings http://muffinsquee.deviantart.com/art/Peruvian-Thread-Earrings-146992636 Where the thread is led through tiny wire loops or something, creating that nice overlapping effect.
What I've seen is most always floral and, obviously, raised off of the garment. I can't find pictures on the internet to save my life!
I'm really interested in what kind of embroidery it is, as I'd love to try it myself! But since I don't know, I can't find out. u.u
I would hesitate to call those earrings an example of embroidery (thread craft, yes, but not embroidery).
I wonder if you're thinking of stumpwork? http://www.lorettascustomstitchery.com/stumpwork.htm -- though it was at its height in the 17th century.
Dorset buttons? http://www.needlenthread.com/2007/10/embroidered-buttons-dorset-button.html
