Welcome to Gaia! ::

It's a nice idea, but i'd advise you to keep the lace to a minimum, because it looks like it might be annoying to wear 24/7.

I agree that a dog could make short work of at least dirtying lace. But it's so cute that I'd like to see you recreate the effect. I mean, I think the lace is one the biggest charm points of the collar.

You might be able to replace the lace with leather which has been detailed to look like eyelet lace. I don't know that it's widely available as a material but if you're making this yourself you might just get a few strips of leather, possibly even of a lighter leather, and punch the holes in it yourself with whatever tool you're using to make the holes for the buckle.

Heck, you could even just do a frill with some thin leather. I would recommend keeping it short so that the thin leather doesn't go limp and fall.

Well, as a collar-wearing individual, I'd definately pay money for a collar like that. It seems more like it's styled for people rather than dogs, though.
