The Detatchable Collar:
To get the look:
Either find a pattern and fabric to make your own collar...
OR
Take a short-cut and cut a collar off an old shirt.
I saw this look in a DOLLY Magazine and in pictures of Miu Miu runways.
Extra ideas:
-Pimp your Collar by gluing lace trims, ribbons, studs, patches etc. or by sewing beads on
-You can fasten your collar with a button, badge, ribbon or elastic. Or you can taper the back of your collar and fasten with a chain.
-You can sew a collar and matching cuffs into a v-neck knitted jumper for a preppy winter look without the bunching.
-Don't waste the rest of the old shirt. Sew the pocket/s onto a skirt or singlet for a matching ensemble or cut and sew your shirt to form a singlet or boobtube.
Crochet Collars:
Follow the link to get a cool crchet design. Also has an alternate pointy edged collar.
Tips:
-A larger hook will create a larger pattern and collar.
-In this pattern a double crochet is equal to a treble and single crochet to a double (For Australian and English crocheters)
-Don't be afraid to use bright colours
-Crochet with beads for an interesting look
-use lighter threads for summer and thick wool for winter.
-knit or crochet matching accessories if you like, by using the same yarn and a scalloped pattern.
