DIY Round-up: Detachable Collars

I know, I know. Peter Pan Collars. So hot right now. So hot that you want to wear one WITH EVERYTHING YOU OWN! Right? Luckily, rather than sew one onto all of your blouses, you can rock a detachable one to the same effect.

You can find em for sale all over (both vintage or new)... or you can try your hand at making your own.
