I personally like to starch after it's constructed, then the starch doesn't break down when being handled and I can shape the ruff the way I like.

It's Sunday morning, and the caffeine has not yet percolated its way into my
brain, so here's a possibly silly question:

is it a good idea to starch the fabric of a ruff *before* or *after* you sew
it together?
