Totally Weird

So, I can't decide what to wear and pull out my old standby- blue jean dress.  I am not even going to stop and count back the number of years I've had this thing.  I love the whole, pull it over my head, done business of dressing and this dress fits the bill.   During some part of the morning, I put my hand on my hip and am a little taken back by the fact that my dress has a rash. That, or someone is trying to send me a message in braille.

 I'm like, what in the world happened here?  I'm a picker by nature I fear. So my dress became a quite of source of entertainment, trying to pick off all the littlest bits creating the unusual texture.
With my old eyes, I could see nothing, but with my glasses, I saw the source of the bumps.  Can you see them?  You might have to click on the picture to see it larger, as I know you are now as interested in this mystery as I am.

While I'm great at putting things in my pocket, somewhat like a four year old boy, I'm not nearly as good at getting everything out.  I believe those are basil seeds, seeds that must have spun out over the whole dress.   If that isn't it, I have no other ideas.  It was entertaining to say the least.  I likely wouldn't have been as excited if all those seeds had sprouted.
