- Pale peach faux pearl and silver rhinestone collar from Mae's Millinery Shop. The beads and rhinestones are attached to a peach satin ground fabric with a stylized floral bud design along the bottom edge. The facing side is completely covered in beading so that the fabric is not visible. The collar is backed in the same peach satin and closes with one (1) metal hook-and-eye at the center front. A fabric label is sewn at the verso center with brown embroidered text reading "Hand Made / a "Top Hit" fashion / BAARE BEARDS, INC. / JAPAN".
