From Provence, Southern France, an antique decorative collar featuring open cutwork and eyelet embroidery of 9 flowers ✾ with a scalloped rim, entirely handmade. The outer petite scallops are all edged with hand-stitched buttonhole stitches. The small eyelets ❍゜。⬭⬯ on the petals resemble dewdrops. Glossy, lustrous ecru-toned elegant milk glass buttons. Material is likely natural linen, or possibly a cotton blend. It feels fine-spun, with a good balance of body and drape, smooth and dry yet soft to the touch. It has a well-loved, relaxed feel in a good way. A chic, gentle antique ecru with a slightly stony/plaster-like grayish hue, incorporating a grassy khaki. The tones are stone white. Suitable for infants, babies, toddlers, and children up to around the middle of elementary school. For commemorative photos at events like first shrine visits, first festivals, or entrance ceremonies, and for decorating special outfits. Also lovely for dressing up dolls such as BeBe bisque dolls, larger bisque dolls, and teddy bears. By unbuttoning and attaching ribbons to tie on either side, it can also be worn by adult women on dresses, coats, knits, etc. Sewing it on for decoration is also stylish. As is, it creates a high-neck style, but it can also be worn by petite adult women. Please excuse any errors in the amateur measurements below.
