Ran across this image recently. This fine work was executed to illustrate the article on smocking. The problem with this is that the work presented of absolutely horrific quality; if this were my work I would be tempted to burn it and under no circumstance would I let anyone see it. I'm sure that a five year old could do better than this.
Of course, one look at who created this travesty of textile arts and you'll understand why this is on Wikipedia.

So make a better smocking sampler, photograph it, and impress us with your workmanship.

Fuck off and die.
Are those the only choices?
I suppose another option would be to upload this http://www.flickr.com/photos/37869936@N00/493663266 or something better yet to Commons. Then you could get rid of the embarrassing quality crap in the article.

That one is also quite horrible, though in a different way.

I am not an expert on embroidery, so I could be wrong, but if the intent is to show what a good quality example looks like, I think that image would probably do. There is no need to think in terms of how much you personally would want to wear it.
