Collar - Burgandy Petals £55

All of my collars are decorative and designed as pieces of wearable art.

Nearer to a necklace or choker than a scarf they are decorated to varying degrees, either working on mostly the fabric or with gauze, ribbons, beads, buttons and rhinestones.

They do also do a good job of keeping a chill off sensitive necks and so are ideal for those who carry tension in their necks. `

Fastened by tieing the smaller ends of the collar behind the neck this allows real versatility,
wear a bejewelled model close to the neck over bare shoulders with an evening dress,
wear it comfortably casually with a open necked blouse, dress up a plain tshirt to so much more, or even wear it over a polo neck jumper or existing large plain collar on a jumper, scarf or top.

The Burgandy Petal collar has it's primary petal and the collar body made from a beautiful rich, creamy to the touch burgandy silk. minimal organza and a matching fabric for unison in the other petals makes for a classy collar, with sparkling rhinestones subtly sparkling up the gorgeous to touch fabric.

The model in the image tried it on over a scarf, but it would tie equally well as a close neck collar, and feels sumptuous against the skin when worn close.

I usually work with reused or found fabrics.

If you have unwanted fabric you would like to donate (from lacy curtains to corduroy chair throws) I may well be able to make good use of it.

It does not matter if a piece is damaged or stained in places as I will either incorporate or work around the damage.

I may be able to collect around mid-devon or arrange collection by a friend elsewhere.
