The Dressmaker’s Guide to Making Collars

For those dressing in the 1840s, 1850s, and 1860s, the addition of a lovely white collar and cuffs is the finishing touch that so often makes the impression! This workbook contains full-scale, multi-sized collars taken from extant items and period publications, as well as cuffs to use as a base for so many period styles. You’ll learn to size, adapt, and construct everything from a simple plain-hemmed white collar, to a lace-edged bit of delight, to a fully pieced-lace collar suited to the best silks and wools, along with the tips and tricks that make your collar and cuff set look like originals.

22 illustrated pages, include 9 full-size templates for collars 1840-1865.
