I swapped the collar of my snow white for a choker with a lot of frills made of lace and stiff interfacing to frame my head like an Elizabethan ruff but it made it so I could not tilt my head forward and I have to tilt my head upwards which makes me look rather like a queen.
One pretty good idea for that collar to be able to pop out more and be more stiff is to sew a thin band of curtain heading tape or something like that before pleating? Don't know how that'd work for costumes really but just an idea. I work in retail for curtains XD
Thank you so much for this! I've working on the collar for a cape and nothing has worked to get it to stand up the way I need it to. I remembered your video and the craft wire base seems like it will work perfectly!
No idea if this is an ok thing to do, but if you want to make another collar at some point, it might be fun to try cartridge pleating. Depending on the fabric it might even stand up on its own. (you'd need some seriously stiff fabric for that though)
The collar turned out great! Though if you didn't want the wire to stand out, couldn't you have just spray painted it white instead of wrapping tape all around it?
this totally just solved my issue with elementalist lux dark forms collar type thing, only issue though, would it work with solid coloured fabric instead of lace?
Absolutely. You're frame cam even be simpler than mine. I covered it in tape because you could see it through the lace. If yours have solid fabric it won't matter
Hello i dont know if you are aware of this or if this was brought to your attention but i noticed someone reupload this video. The username is lackman harris.
Listening also matters. If you are referring to the Mod Podge stiffener i am using, it is in fact, stiffener, Just like I say in the video. Mod Podge is a brand, and they make a few various product. A simple google search would tell you this. I know what I'm doing. Next time do your own research before you come for mine, thank you.
