About this work
Collar with pleats. The smooth part of the collar (5.8 cm wide) is made of double fabric and is composed of four pieces, thus three seams. On one side of the collar is a piece of metal (?) that has turned green, and on the other side two round thread remnants that are also somewhat green. On the same side as the two round thread remnants the letter 'H' is embroidered. Over the length of the smooth part a pleated piece is attached (3.8 cm wide) of single fabric.
