What kind of collar or neckline is this? Does it exist?!

Can anyone help? I'm getting nowhere in my search. I'm trying to find the kind of very high, stiff, straight backed collar you are very elegant refined older women characters in on tv. It's more than just a regular shirt collar that's been starched up, it's a very high collar or neckline, usually worn with hair up, almost seems to touch the base of the hairline. I can't find any images to illustrate, but I know I've seen it in contemporary shows (as in, not just Victorian style necklines). Does anyone know what I'm talking about?! Feel like I'm going mad on Pinterest!

Pie crust collar?

Thank you for the suggestion but no, much higher than a pie crust collar- high all the way around almost to the ears, and then open at the front.

Is it Edwardian, rather than Victorian?

Nehru collar?

Are this and this what you mean? I can't find any one consistent name for it. Try stand collar or stand up collar. It's quite an elegant look.

Dubarry are calling it a portrait collar.

Are you thinking of a stand up wing collar @kardashianklone? They sometimes had little bone stiffeners sewn into the back of the collar.
