Sweet crochet lace collar for neck line of a nightgown. Dates early 1900's. The collar is gathered at the neckline with a silk blue ribbon to tighten. The ribbon is accented with a series of bows.  

It appears the collar was not used, as the thread of the crochet needlework remains in the original state.  It has never been laundered.  Condition is nice.

Ecru in color.  Ribbon is blue with tiny dots.

The round collar is 31" long, at the top edge.  2-1/4" wide from the top edge to the point.
