The Peter Pan collar is a small, rounded collar found on women’s and girls’ clothing. It is named after the fictional character Peter Pan and is associated with innocence and eternal youth. The collar is often found on modest clothing and can be sewn or modified onto existing clothing.
A Peter Pan collar is a specific type of shirt collar, usually found on women’s and girls’ clothing. The necklace evokes a feeling of innocence, and the simple design appeals to many women of all ages. Like many fashion trends, the popularity of the necklace waxes and wanes, but you can usually find a few examples on department store shelves, especially in the girls’ section. It is also possible, of course, to sew your own clothing with a Peter Pan collar, or to modify an existing shirt collar.
Several things distinguish a Peter Pan collar from other types of shirt collars. The first, and most distinctive, is the rounded edges. The edges of the rounds may meet or overlap, or there may be a gap between them. The necklace also tends to be small and discreet, as well as being close-fitting. Typically, a shirt or dress with a Peter Pan collar is modest, as the collar hugs the neck, leaving no room for cleavage or cleavage display.
The necklace’s name is a reference to Peter Pan, a fictional character who lives in Neverland in the novel of the same name, written by JM Barrie in the early 20th century. The story is a fairy tale about a little boy who never grows up, and the Peter Pan necklace is meant to evoke the same feeling of eternal youth. In girls’ clothing, the necklace is a perennial favorite as it is a classic and simple look. In older women, it’s often a topic of debate in the fashion world, with many women either loving it or hating it.
The shape and name of the Peter Pan collar appear to have originated in the mid-20th century. The design became very popular for school uniforms and began to spread into popular culture. Even though it is named after a male character, it is mostly associated with female wear and rarely appears in men’s fashion.
Many sewing patterns for shirts and dresses include a Peter Pan collar, or an option to create this collar. It is also possible to modify the collar of an existing shirt in many cases, by carefully cutting out the relevant sections and stitching them back together to form the classic rounded edges.
