Women's Turn of the Century (c.1900) Hard Collars

 
Pressed celluloid "ivory" covered cardboard collar & cuff box with pink silk lining.

Two identical embroidered ladies collars with two buttonhole back closures. PDF Pattern of this collar

Detail photo of above showing the whitework embroidery on the fronts of the collars.

Two views of an embroidered lock-front collar.  Because this is a woman's collar the "lock" (extra long tab) is on the right side of the collar, not the left as is usual with men's collars. PDF Pattern of this collar

Collar "Sorosis" with a bias banded edge held on with faggoting. PDF Pattern of this collar

Collar "Thelma" has five dangling external looped tabs through which a necktie or scarf may be threaded. PDF Pattern of this collar

This collar with three white petal shaped tabs has a band made of a blue block print, and probably was originally sold with a shirtwaist of the same printed fabric.  It is unclear from the construction which side is the front.

This simple fold collar has whitework dots embroidered on the collar, and a plain band. PDF Pattern of this collar
