Antiques & Collectibles: Clothing collectors fancy old lace collars - pressofAtlanticCity.com

"Elaborate collars such as your ancestor's, fashionable during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, were designed to showcase swan-like necks, considered a desirable feminine attribute at the time.

Darn those flappers!
