Peter Pan collar

nounStandard termTextiles

A flat collar with rounded ends that lies flush against the bodice.

A Peter Pan collar is a style of flat collar characterized by its curved, rounded points that meet at the center front. It is cut to follow the neckline curve exactly, meaning it has little to no stand and rests completely flat against the garment. This collar is frequently drafted for childrenswear, women's blouses, and vintage-inspired dresses to create a soft, youthful silhouette.
