Hello, all -

I'm making a fantasy QE1 costume, but trying to make the silhouette, at least, relatively accurate to period (I started with Margo's pattern...). (It will also have wings, but that's part of the fantasy <g>). I want a large standing collar rather than a ruff, similar to the picture here:

Or:

The problem is, I have no idea how to make one, or how it attaches to the costume. Can someone please point me to a book or website that might give me some clues? I need to finish this by tax day (Apr. 15 for non-U.S. members) and the rest of the dress is giving me fits also.

Many thanks in advance.
Sandy
