1920s Hand-Embroidered Cotton Peter Pan Collar with Scalloped Edges

This enchanting collar is crafted from fine white cotton that has aged to a soft, natural warmth, this piece showcases delicate hand-embroidery that transforms simple fabric into wearable poetry.

Each rounded collar tip blooms with intricate floral motifs worked in white thread, creating subtle texture and dimension that catches light like dewdrops on morning petals. The embroidery flows organically across the cotton canvas, speaking to hours of patient needlework by skilled hands. The scalloped edges follow the collar's gentle curves, finished with tiny hand-stitched points that create movement and visual interest.

The collar's beauty lies in its versatility - wear the button closure at the back for a classic, demure look that frames the face sweetly, or flip it to the front for a more contemporary, playful style that adds unexpected detail to your neckline. This thoughtful reversibility makes one collar feel like two different pieces, adapting to your mood and outfit needs.

The cotton feels substantial yet soft, with that quality weight that speaks to pre-war textile standards. The natural aging has only enhanced its character, creating the kind of lived-in beauty that can't be replicated in modern pieces.
