Hannah Lord Montague, Collars and their history…removable

Season 9 Episode 908

As long as we have a neckline, we can make a collar. Short, narrow, wide, large, removable, fur, and much more today as we learn how to make collars simply by tracing the neck edge. Many designers make these collars removable to add value to their garments and also to charge more or justify their costs. Collars give us versatility and change the look, but let’s learn the basics and beyond.
