Ever wanted one of those Elizabethan wing-looking collars? If so, the Very Merry Seamstress has you covered.

Bookmarked, because eventually some production of mine is going to need me to MacGuyver something like this on a community theater Queen Elizabeth.

$300 is a lot for community theater, but, fact is these items probably cost that much at the time they were fashionable, too.

If these came with some sort of satellite receiver embedded that would make them even more badass

ruff underpropper

That is the perfect porn name.

Those collars look terribly uncomfortable, but they are also incredibly striking, very like those lizards that inflate their necks for threat and mating displays.

I'm afraid Harry Hill has killed big collars for me.

Blackadder: You look like a bird who swallowed a plate, Percy.
Lord Percy: It's the latest fashion, actually, and as a matter of fact it makes me look rather sexy.
Blackadder: To another plate swallowing bird, perhaps, if it was blind and hadn't had it in months.
