Codygirl, congratulations on making a fur collar yourself! To answer your question, my collars are curved, so they are narrower in the middle than the ends. If I measure the outside (ie the furry side) of the ends, they are around 5.7 inches (with a one inch margin either way). Please post pics of yours! 
thank you for the compliments you guys... i was one day sitting in front of my computer and checking out the "Your Hermes DIY" ... i saw there were so many great inventions .. and i liked the ribbon-made pompoms the most...and i was trying to follow the instructions to make it... but it didn't work...
and then i saw my little note book and thought that i might do something with the ribbon and the notebook.. and that's how i came up with this... =)

Thank you so much for responding. I am sure having the curve is much better.
I love your blog and I have to say we have VERY similar style of dressing. I am a huge fan of white blouses...I think it is one of the best looks around. Less is more attitude!
I am currently obsessed with vintage belt buckles. Here is a picture of my elephant one.

The belt buckle is from ebay....vintage Mimi di N. Love it!!!!Codygirl - did you make your fur collar? It's beautiful and I love the way you tied your scarf with it in your beautiful modeling photo. And that's some exquisite belt buckle, too!
I wore it with white blouse, jeans and riding boots and of course an H scarf!! I happened to run into some TPFers at the Madison Ave store.
on the same day.
I actually stop in some random leather and fur store and told the guy what I wanted. It is not curved like MT's (which are perfect) but for me....it works!!!!
Thank you for the lovely compliment, Codygirl, happy you enjoy my blog
Many congratulations on your fur collar and thank you for posting a pic, it is beautiful!!!
Gorgeous vintage belt buckle, what a find!!
I am going to have an off white one made. MT - hope you do not mind the biggest form of flattery...copying. I did see a collar on one of the TPF ladies in the H store and the idea rolled from there. Then I saw yours....the rest is history. I like projects!
PS - compliments abound on you and your style. I am a big fan of pearls, too. Love to wear them with white t-shirts, skirts and riding boots!!
My H collection just got a little bigger. I got a Tsako bag!!! Love vintage and anything messenger!
Amazing.....I was also thinking about how gorgeous a white fur collar would look, Codygirl. So glad you brought it up.
Pictures tomorrow after I pick it up!
