Antique Handmade Embroidered Lace Gauze Collar, Classic Ivory White, Multiple Ways to Wear

Ivory White Antique Embroidered Gauze Lace Collar. This collar comes from a British elder's collection. Although there is no year marking, the owner states it is at least 70-80 years old, likely originating from the area around Sheffield in the Midlands, England. In earlier times, clothing styles were not as varied as they are today. Therefore, women would sew on different styles of lace collars, cuffs, and trims to alter the look of their outfits. This gauze lace collar is handmade, featuring circular embroidery along its curved edge. The pattern is quite unique, with round, circular motifs that are romantically delicate and charming. The collar itself has no buttons or ties. For ease of photography, we have sewn a pair of dark green ribbons to demonstrate how it can be worn. The buyer may choose to keep or remove the ribbons. The final way to wear it is to sew it directly onto the garment of your choice, or to tie it as we have done for the photograph, elevating your overall look with a touch of classical beauty through this simple collar.
