I agree with Candace. According to Chenhall it would be Personal
Artifacts – Clothing – Accessory – Stay – Collar (or
what ever it is to stiffen) if it was something from a body of a woman’s
dress, shirtwaist or blouse I’d put bodice instead of collar.

It’s aclothing
–accessory and it could be a stay – as in collar or corset stays,
or a busk, maybe, also for corsets.
Is this what you are looking for?

Here’s a test for you. What would you call an object
that is made to go inside a piece of clothing to shape and/or stiffen it? And
what category/sub-category would you put it in?
(If I knew the answer, I wouldn’t be asking!)
