Savannah Smocked Collar for 15" - 18" Dolls Machine Embroidery Design

The Savannah smocked collar, by FROG Princess Fashions,  was inspired by the colonial practice of hand smocking to achieve an adjustable but beautiful garment for growing children. While smocking has been popular for hundreds of years as a means of gathering fabric in areas such as necklines, cuffs, and waists where elasticity is desirable, today, smocking is used mainly for embellishment, and beautiful, heirloom-quality designs can be quickly and evenly achieved with machine embroidery.The Savannah collar is accented by a thin edge of flat lace, although narrow rick rack trim or entredeux with ribbon also works well. Directions are included for hemming your collar with flat lace. If you want to use rick rack or entredeux and ribbon, you will need to add these after you have machine pleated your collar. Either embellishment can be added to hand pleated fabric.This collar comes with four fall smocking designs: Apples, Leaves, Pumpkins, and Turkeys.

This collar is designed to be used on garments for 15” baby dolls such as Bitty Baby™,
as well as 18” dolls such as American Girl®.
