Hello, all,

IIRC sometime in the last 2 months or so, someone posted a bunch of links to various Elizabethan-era portraits. One of them (which may or may not have been actually Elizabeth I) showed a very large standing collar - not quite a ruff, but definitely higher than the top of the head. Something you would need the supportasse from h**l to hold up.

And now I can't find it when I need it. Does this sound familiar to anyone? If it does, can you re-post the link, please?

I'm building a fantasy-oriented Elizabethan, and that large collar is exactly the look I want - I just can't find an image in any of my books and I can't seem to explain it to hubby so he can visualize it.

TIA,
Sandy (who hopes that this will teach her to bookmark stuff she likes immediately!!)
