The collar is made of fine white muslin embroidered with delicate floral and twig patterns. The muslin is very fine and sheer. The double-layered collar is shaped to sit over the large gigot-style sleeves popular during the 1830s. The condition is good for its age; the muslin is very clean and white, but there are some tears and areas of fraying to be expected on a fine antique muslin.
