Lace Collars: Shapes


Figure 1.--This boy wears a very large round lace collae with a slight scalloping at the edge.

Lace collars came in a wide variety of shapes. Many of these collars were rounded. Often the rounded collars had slight scalloping at the edges. Other rounded collars had geometric designs such as star points. Others had a generally rounded collar with only small points of the lace adding a slightly jagged edging to the collar. Variations in the sizes of the collars added increased variety to the various basic shapes.
