We thought we had seen large Fauntleroy collars when we began working on HBC. But as we begam building our archive, we began seeing collars that large seemed truly a gross understatement. Large meanm that the collar extended to the sholders and covered up the top of the jacket as we see on the previous page. But even so, you could still see the jacket. Some Funtleroy blouses had collars and plackets that covred up virtually the entire jacket. And when combined with decorative wrist cuffs and floppy bows, we are lucky to see any of the jacket at all -- at least from the front. Now these gigantic collars were rare, even in the Fauntleroy era, but they did exist. Mothers at the time had virtually free reign as to how they dressed boys, at least before they reached school age. And some took full advantage of the opportunity, pourung heir heart and soul into the effort.
