This is a working class neckerchief made from 100% white linen, completely hand-sewn with a narrow hem. The elongated diamond shape reduces bulk and is easy to tuck into your bodice neckline to protect your dress. The smaller size also allows you to wear it under your bodice, folded over the neckline just a bit, which gives the appearance of having a narrow collar. Made in the USA by living historians, for living historians.
