Description

Women's COLLARS Civil War Style Removable 4 Varieties White Cotton or Linen in your choice of four styles.
Women of the era used collars and undersleeves as a stylish way to keep their clothing looking clean and neat. It was easier to remove and launder collars and undersleeves, rather than their dress. It was also a way to add a different look to their outfits. Typically the collars were hand basted to the inside of their bodice. (They can also be attached with small safety pins.)
These collars all have a 1 1/4" wide flap that slides down into the inside neck of the bodice with the collar showing on the outside.
Style one is the standard round collar, sometimes called a Peter Pan collar. The collars measure 17" at the neck edge and 27" at the outside edge and is 3 1/4" wide. The first collar shown is linen with a woven flower design. The second is fine linen with a row of vintage reticella lace in a rose pattern. The third collar is cotton with a ruffled lace edging.
Style two is the standard fold over collar with pointed tips, the standard shirt collar. The collars measure 16" at the neck edge and 17" at the outside edge and is 2 1/4" wide at the back neck edge and 3" wide to the pointed tip. The first collar shown is white cotton and is decorated with a piece of eyelet lace (know as broiderie anglaise in the 1860's) with a light blue satin ribbon. The second collar is edged with a very fine antique cream colored needle lace. The third collar is white cotton with a narrow row of off-white scalloped lace.
Style three is a diamond shape. Only the diamond shape shows on the outside front neck edge of the dress. The tuck-in part of the collar is 18" long. The diamond shapes are  2" from the neck edge to the tip and are 4 3/4" wide. The first collar shown is white linen with a narrow edging of lace in the shape of tiny fans. The second collar is linen with cut-work flower diamonds. The  third collar is linen with a narrow edging of antique ecru colored lace.
Style four is a fancy cross tab design, perfect for displaying a lovely brooch (the brooch is not included.)  The neck edge of the collar is 17 1/2", the collar is 1 1/2" wide, the tabs are approximately 4 1/2" long.  The first collar is white cotton with a woven dot design, the tabs are diamond shaped. The second collar is linen with round tabs. The third collar is linen with diamond shaped tabs.
