In Blackpool last week Queen Elizabeth II met Lady GaGa dressed as Elizabeth I. No, it's not a bizarre dream, it actually happened at The Royal Variety Performance, and here are the photographs to prove it! GaGa's red latex dress had a gorgeous ruff which made me long for one myself. When I googled, I found two things, first, that Suzie Bubble of Style Bubble (one of my favorite fashion blogs) was onto this trend two years ago and second, that she already did the research and found them at The Very Merry Seamstress.
British l'enfante terrible, Gareth Pugh showed ruffs for his infamous S09 collection in Paris.

Another good looking ruff can be found at Clockwork Couture
and it's versatile too! It can be worn either of the ways shown here.

A modern/techno option, (it's PVC), similar in texture to GaGa's latex number is this ruff/necklace from jewelry designer, Jessica Dance, available at farfetch.com

Nicolas Ghesquière showed several ruffled collars on blouses in his Balenciaga Collection for Resort 2010. He used them to give a romantic touch to a series of sportswear separates.
