| Woman's collar, American, c.1850. From LACMA. |
This one is worth clicking through for the close-ups. This is one of the most densely embroidered collars I've ever seen: the semi-sheer fabric is barely visible around the thick (couched?) embroidery motif, with dozens of worked eyelets creating a net-like background to the scallops.
