Summary
A cream fine cotton shaped collar, embroidered in a broderie anglaise style. The collar is decorated with strips of flowers and leaves, with one large and two smaller circles filled with bars to give a squared effect. These are surrounded with stitched flower motifs. The collar is edged with a broad scalloped edged cotton lace. The neckline is edged with a narrow band of cotton lace, with a large metal hook to fasten. The lace edging is coming away at one edge.
